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.
The digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus (see figure). Inside this tube is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food.Food follows the path: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus.mall Intestine: The small intestine is where most chemical digestion occurs. After the stomach empties the food and juice mixture into the small intestine, the juices of two other digestive organs mix with the food to continue the process of digestion.
