The digestive system comprises several key organs that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients. These organs include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Each organ has a specific job in the digestion process, such as breaking down food into smaller pieces or absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream. It is essential to maintain a healthy digestive system by consuming a balanced diet and staying hydrated, allowing all these organs to function optimally.
