Hi my dear friend,

❥digestive system. a continuous tube beginning with the mouth and ending at the anus. ...

❥digestion. breakdown of complex foods into simpler soluble forms which can be absorbed by the body cells.

❥absorption. nutrients form digested foods are absorbed into the bloodstream.

❥elimination.
