What is the correct order of components digestive tract?

The digestive tract, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a continuous passage from the mouth to the anus. Organs forming the digestive tract are as follows:

1. Mouth: The mouth is where digestion begins. It contains teeth, which break down food into smaller pieces, and saliva, which contains enzymes that start to break down carbohydrates.

2. Pharynx: The pharynx is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the esophagus. It helps to move food from the mouth to the esophagus.

3. Esophagus: The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach. It moves food from the throat to the stomach through its rhythmic contractions called peristalsis.

4. Stomach: The stomach is a J-shaped organ that secretes gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and enzymes that break down proteins. The stomach churns and mixes the food with these gastric juices to form a semi-liquid substance called chyme.

5. Small intestine: The small intestine is a long, coiled tube that connects the stomach to the large intestine. It plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients.

- The first part of the small intestine is the duodenum, where most of the chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients take place. Here, the food mixes with enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver to further break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

- The rest of the small intestine, which includes the jejunum and ileum, allows for the absorption of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals from food into the bloodstream. The walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny, finger-like projections called villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients.

6. Large intestine (colon): The large intestine is a coiled tube that leads from the small intestine to the anus. It is responsible for the absorption of water, electrolytes, and vitamins produced by the gut bacteria. In the large intestine, undigested material forms into stool.

7. Rectum: The rectum is the final portion of the large intestine, where stool is temporarily stored before defecation.

8. Anus: The anus serves as the final opening of the digestive tract. Stool passes out of the body through the anus during defecation.
