MAJOR PARTS OF HUMAN
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

PANCREAS
LIVER
GALL BLADDER
COLON OR LARGE INTESTINE
RECTUM
ANUS
 ORGANS FUNCTIONS
MOUTH KEEPS THE FOOD FOR CHEWING
TEETH CUTS THE FOOD INTO SMALL PIECES
SALIVARY GLANDS PRODUCES SALIVA CONTAINING DIGESTIVE ENZYME (AMALYSE)
TONGUE TASTES THE FOOD
OESOPHAGUS CHANNELS THE FOOD FROM THE MOUTH INTO THE STOMACH
STOMACH PRODUCES DIGESTIVE ENZYMES(RENNIN AND PROTEASE)
DUEODENUM DIGESTS THE FOOD WITH THE HELP OF ENZYMES FROM PANCREAS
PANCREAS PRODUCES DIGESTIVE ENZYMES(AMALYSE, PROTEASE, LIPASE)
LIVER PRODUCES BILE FOR EMULSIFYING FATS
GALL BLADDER STORES BILE FROM THE LIVER
SMALL INTESTINE PRODUCES DIGESTIV ENZYMES AND COMPLETES THE UNDIGESTED
FOOD
LARGE INTESTINE ABSORBS WATER FROM THE UNDIGESTED FOOD
RECTUM KEEPS THE FAECES
ANUS LETS OUT THE FAECES
