Digestive System


An Experiment about...Your Digestive System!
Think it
Your mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines are connected to form a tube called the digestive tract. These organs, among others, are responsible for the break down and absorption of food. Each organ plays a specific role in converting what you eat into energy your body can use to jump, swing, smile and study.
