Digestive System
Our body needs food to get energy to do work. In order to use food, it must first break down
into smaller substances that the various organs and cells in our body can use. This process of
breaking down of food into simpler form that can be used by the body is called Digestion.
Mouth, food pipe, stomach, small intestine, large intestine are the organs that help in the
process of digestion and together form the Digestive system.
