2. Introduction Donald Trump, do not kick us of the apprentice. The Digestive system is really important. If we didn’t have the digestive system we wouldn’t be able to eat food. Which means you wouldn’t be able to sponsor Oreo cakesters with Eli and Peyton Manning.

3. Major Parts Of The Digestive System The major organs of the digestive system are: the teeth,gums,estophagous,stomach,small intestine, pancreas, liver, large intestine gallbladder, and salivary glands

4. Definitions and Functions of the System and its parts Mouth- is the beginning of the digestive tract. Epiglottis- keeps the food from going in to your lungs. Pharynx- is part of the digestive and respiratory system. Esophagus- brings down the food to the stomach Liver- the body’s largest internal organ. Gallbladder- releases bile to duodenum to help digest fat in food we eat. Stomach- holds up highly acidic environment that is needed to break food down. Pancreas- makes hormones to control blood glucose level. Small Intestine- is called small cause of it’s width. Has 3 parts. They are duodenum, jejunum, Ileum. Large Intestine- made up of the colon, cecum, and rectum. Appendix- is attached to the cecum. Anus- marks the exit point of the digestive tracts where the fences leave the body.

5. Diseases associated with the Digestive system Diseases of the Digestion system are Colorectal cancer and Crohn’s disease. The colorectal cancer is a malignant cell that can be found in the colon or rectum part of the body. The large intestines are made up of those parts. Along with other painful diseases, Crohn’s disease can lead to complications, including an obstruction of the intestine due to swelling and the formation of scar tissue.

6. Why the digestive system is important The Digestive system is important because it breaks down food into smaller pieces, so they can be used as an energy source for the body. Without it we wouldn’t be able to eat food and get our energy source. This means we would all die in a matter of days.
