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.


What happen if the digestive system was not function?

The digestive system is what converts regular food that we eat into useful form of nutrients which can be used by the rest of the body. Without these nutrients, the other organs would eventually shut down and die. The body does have the capability to convert energy from fat cells for use in the rest of the body. I'm not sure if this is a function of the digestive system, though.
