Answer:

Stomach: The function of the human stomach is an aid to digestion. There are four key components of gastric digestive function, its function as a reservoir, acid secretion, enzyme secretion and its role in gastrointestinal motility.

Liver: Your liver is our body's largest solid organ. On average, it weighs about 3 pounds. This organ is vital to the body's metabolic functions and immune system. Without a functioning liver, we would not be able to survive.

Pancreas: A glandular organ located in the abdomen. It makes pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that aid in digestion, it produces several hormones. The pancreas is surrounded by the stomach, intestines, and other organs in the body.

Intestines: There are four major functions, they are: reabsorption of water and mineral ions, formation and temporary storage of faeces, maintaining a resident population of over 500 species of bacteria, bacterial fermentation of indigestible materials.

Part two:

Glands in your stomach lining make stomach acid and enzymes that break down food. Muscles of your stomach mix the food with these digestive juices. Your pancreas makes a digestive juice that has enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well with your liver that makes a digestive juice called bile, which helps digest fats and some vitamins. The pancreas deliver the digestive juices to the small intestine through these small tubes called ducts. Bacteria in your small intestine make some of the enzymes you need to digest carbohydrates. It absorbs water with other nutrients. Bacteria in your large intestine help break down remaining nutrients and make vitamin K NIH external links. Waste products of digestion, including parts of food that are still too large, become stool.

Answer: the stomach is an organ which you process and digest your food,

your liver is organ about the size of a football. It sits just under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances. Liver disease can be inherited,

and your pancrease is important for digesting food and managing your use of sugar for energy after digestion. If you have any symptoms of pancreatic digestion problems, like loss of appetite, abdominal pain, fatty stools, or weight loss, call your healthcare provider.
