General Physician
 Digestive System:
 The major role of the digestive system is the process of breaking down
food and disposing the waste.
 Stomach: the internal organ in which the major part of the digestion of food
occurs, being a pear-shaped enlargement of the alimentary canal linking the
esophagus to the small intestine.
 Liver: a large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates, involved in
many metabolic processes.
 Gallbladder: the small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver, in which bile is
stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine.
 Small Intestine: the part of the intestine that runs between the stomach and
the large intestine; the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum collectively.
 Large Intestine: the cecum, colon, and rectum collectively .
 Rectum: the final section of the large intestine, terminating at the anus.
 Anus: the opening at the end of the alimentary canal through which solid
waste matter leaves the body.

 Cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems are related
because they each build one another.
 The functions of the organ system work together by different
systems that make up your body and allow it to run
effectively
 Five doctors that deal with the digestive system are:
 Esophageal doctors-they deal with esophageal cancer.
 Pancreas doctors-they deal with abnormal things in the
pancreas.
 Nutrition doctors-they take care of your nutrition and tell you the
right things to eat.
 Hematology and liver transplant doctors- they will let you know of
any abnormalities liver.
 Liver and bile-duct cancer doctors-they will look after your liver
