The process of digestion in humans is carried out by the digestive system. The digestive system constitutes a muscular tube called digestive tract or gastrointestinal tract and various accessory organs. The digestive tract begins in the mouth and ends in the anus. The main function of the digestive system is to break large organic substances into simple absorbable form, so that the cells of the body can utilize it to generate energy.
