*Description and functions
From the mouth to the anus, the digestive tube measures about one meter in length. In the mouth proper digestion begins. The teeth crush the food and the secretions of the salivary glands humidify them and initiate their chemical decomposition they transform into the food bolus. Then, the food bolus crosses the pharynx, continues to the esophagus and reaches the stomach, a muscular bag of liter and a half capacity, whose segregation is the most gastric juice. In the stomach the food is stirred to become the chyme.
At the end of the stomach, the digestive tract is called a small intestine, about six meters long and very folded back on itself. In its first portion or duodenum receives secretions from the intestinal glands, the bile comes from the gallbladder and the juices of the pancreas. All these secretions contain a large amount of enzymes that degrade food and transform them into simple soluble substances such as amino acids. The digestive tract continues through the large intestine, just over a meter and a half in length. Its final portion is the rectum, which ends in the anus, through which the indigestible remains of the food are evacuated to the outside.
