Definition of digestive system

: the bodily system concerned with the ingestion, digestion, and absorption of food and the
discharge of residual wastes and consisting of the digestive tract and accessory glands (such as
the salivary glands and the pancreas) that secrete digestive enzymes

Digestive system: The system of organs responsible for getting food into and out of the body
and for making use of food to keep the body healthy. The digestive system includes the salivary
glands, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, colon, and
rectum. The digestive system's organs are joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the
anus. Inside this tube is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine,
the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. Two solid organs, the
liver and the pancreas (both of which are embryologically derived from the digestive tract),
produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes known as ducts. In
addition, parts of other organ systems (for instance, nerves and blood) play a major role in the
digestive system.
