The liver, pancreas, and salivary glands are all part the digestive system, but food doesn't pass through them. All three produce enzymes and chemicals that break up nutrients. The liver produces bile, the salivary glands produce saliva, and the pancreas a mix of enzymes. The liver and pancreas work with other systems as well.
