The Human Digestive System. In the digestive system, ingested food is converted into a form that can be absorbed into the circulatory system circulatory system,group of organs that transport blood and the substances it carries to and from all parts of the body.ost food, however, is not absorbed in the stomach and passes into the duodenum (first section of the small intestine) in the form of a thick liquid called chyme. Digestive enzymes from the pancreas pancreas, glandular organ that secretes digestive enzymes and hormones.
Many of these foods contain both starch, which can be digested, and fiber, which the body cannot digest. The digestible carbohydrates are broken into simpler molecules by enzymes in the saliva, in juice produced by the pancreas, and in the lining of the small intestine.roduction of Digestive Juices The glands that act first are in the mouth--the salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining.
