I consist of the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus,liver, gallbladder, pancreas. I am lined with mucus membranes to help aid me through my daily job. When food passes through me, The GI Tract, I mix the food with digestive enzymes and i break them down into nutrient molecules, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. If the body does not absorb something completely, it gets sent out of the body through defecation.
