This article explores the human digestive system, also known as the alimentary canal, which extends about 30 feet. It is divided into the canal, where digestion occurs, and accessory organs like the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, teeth, tongue, and salivary glands, which aid in the process. We will examine mechanical and chemical digestion, the types of food involved, the anatomy of the digestive organs, and their functions, including nutrient absorption and processing. Discover how digestion plays a crucial role in nutrition and overall health.

Digestive System • Sometimes called Alimentary Canal – 30 ft long! • Two divisions: • Canal – where digestion occurs • Accessory organs – no digestion occurs • Teeth • Tongue • Salivary glands • Liver • Gall bladder • pancreas
Types of Digestion • Mechanical • Teeth • tongue • Chemical – salivary enzymes break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates
