Health News Digestive system of the human body affects the overall health of the individual probably like no other system in the body does. A not so robust digestive system means bowel related issues, frequent diarrhoea and inability to absorb precious nutrients which then leads to poor health and poor quality of life. The human digestive system plays one of the most important functions in the human body. The digestive system or the digestive tract consists of many parts starting from the mouth, then stomach, esophagus, large intestine (colon), small intestine, rectum, the mucosa membrane and then the anus. The liver and the pancreas, also part of the digestive system secrete digestive fluids which are used by intestine to digest food; the digestive fluid secreted by liver is stored in the gall bladder. Few other organs also play a passive role in the digestion of food.
