The digestive system in the human body has several organs that aid in digestion. The liver is an accessory organ that produces bile which is made of dead red blood cells and salt. The salt aids in breaking down fats. The gallbladder aids the liver by storing bile. A very important accessory organ in the body is the pancreas. The pancreas aids in breaking down the proteins, starches, and fats.
