| digestive system |
A series of connected organs whose purpose is to break down, or digest, the food we eat. Food is made up of large, complex molecules, which the digestive system breaks down into smaller, simple molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The simple molecules travel through the bloodstream to all of the body's cells, which use them for growth, repair and energy.

| digestive tract |
the body system that processes food. Food is chewed and swallowed, then travels down the esophagus to the stomach where enzymes and stomach acids mix with the food. In the small intestine, enzymes break down the foods further and help the body to absorb what's needed. The colon then reabsorbs salts and fluids as well as stores waste, which is eliminated through the rectum.
