The digestive system is made up of organs that break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste. It includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, and pancreas. Food is broken into small pieces as it passes through these organs, and the body absorbs nutrients while waste is expelled. The digestive system breaks food down, extracts nutrients, and removes waste from the body.

• Pancreas: Makes juices that are released into the small intestine. • Liver: makes a juice called bile that helps break large blobs of fat into tiny droplets so that the fats can be broken down more easily.
