How does the digestive system meets the needs of the body?

The digestive system breaks down food that you eat. As it moves through the digestive system, the nutrients in the foods (ex. proteins, vitamins, etc.)are taken out and the rest is excreted. The digestive system gives you your energy and your nutrients. Without it, the food that you eat wouldn't be put to use. If you don't have a good, healthy digestive system, your digestive organs will not function as well and you will not receive all of the nutrients possible.
