Function of the Digestive System. The digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long tube from the mouth to the anus. The main function of the digestive system is to break down the food we eat into smaller parts so the body can use them for energy and cell nourishment.n addition, parts of other organ systems (for instance, nerves and blood vessels) play a major role in the digestive system.
