What is the function of the digestive system in general?

The main function of the digestive system is to take the food we eat and take out the minerals and vitamins that then get carried to the muscles in your body by the blood (circulatory system). The leftovers gets carried to your kidneys (who filter them) and anything that the digestive system didn't get gets sent back to the organs and muscles by the blood stream.


What type of tissue forms the digestive cavity?

The digestive cavity is primarily lined by epithelial tissue, specifically simple columnar epithelium in most parts of the digestive tract. This type of tissue facilitates absorption and secretion, allowing for efficient processing of food. Additionally, smooth muscle tissue is present in the walls of the digestive cavity, aiding in the movement of food through peristalsis. Together, these tissue types work to form the functional structure of the digestive cavity.
