Stomach

The stomach is a muscular sac that is important for absoring food and preparing food for further digestion

Intestine

The small intestine is the location in the body where the majority of the nutrients from ingested food are absorbed.

Omentum

The omentum is another word for the fatty layer that surrounds your internal organs.

Colon

The colon has bacteria which helps break food down; it is shorter than the small intestine but has a larger diameter.

Gallbladder

The concentrated bile stored in the gallbladder is released when fatty foods enter the small intestine.

Duodenum

The duodenum plays an important role in regulating the emptying of stomach contents into the rest of the small intestine.

Liver

The liver produces bile and is the first stop for the majority of the nutrients that are absorbed during digestion.

Pancreas

The pancreas is a gland that is a part of the digestive system as well as a hormone system that regulates sugar.
