The digestive system begins with ingestion through the mouth and nasal cavity, where different types of teeth break down food. The stomach contains gastric glands that secrete acid and enzymes to further digest food. The small intestine, with transverse sections like the duodenum, contains intestinal villi with lacteals that absorb nutrients from digested food. The large intestine absorbs water before waste is excreted.
