that the body can use for energy, growth, and repair.
Main parts include:
1. Mouth – chewing and saliva begin digestion.
2. Esophagus – carries food to the stomach.
3. Stomach – mixes food with digestive juices.
4. Small intestine – absorbs nutrients.
5. Large intestine – absorbs water and forms waste.
6. Rectum & Anus – eliminate waste from the body.
