Example
Disorders of the digestive system, like gastritis or Crohn's disease, can significantly impact overall health and well-being.
Within the digestive system, enzymes and acids collaborate to break down food into smaller molecules for absorption.
Waste products are then processed in the digestive system, eventually eliminated through the large intestine.
Absorption primarily occurs in the small intestine, a vital component of the digestive system, where nutrients enter the bloodstream.
The digestive system includes organs such as the stomach and intestines.
