	Digestive System Picture
		Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so that the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy.
		As the food is digested in the small intestine and dissolved into the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, the contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward to allow further digestion.
		Digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals from the diet, are absorbed from the cavity of the upper small intestine.

	Digestive system - Pharmacy and Drugs
		The gastrointestinal tract or digestive tract is otherwise referred to as the GI tract or the alimentary canal, (nourishment canal) or the gut.
		The digestive system is a collection of different organs that works together to mechanically and chemically breaks down food particles into smaller molecules to extract the energy and nutrients and eventually eliminates the remaining waste.
		Digestion begins in the mouth as food, is ingested, chewed, swallowed and eventually moves into the esophagus, a muscular tube that transports food from the oral cavity to the stomach through peristalsis.

		Digestive disturbances result if the flow of bile is stopped or reduced, either because of a liver disorder or because a duct has been blocked by inflammation or a gallstone (a solid mass of material usually composed of calcium, cholesterol, bilirubin, or a combination thereof) formed in the gallbladder.
