digestive tract

The term 'aparato digestivo' in Spanish refers to the 'digestive tract' in English. It is a complex system in the body that helps process food and absorb its nutrients. This system includes various organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. Other accessory organs like the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are also part of this system. In essence, the 'aparato digestivo' breaks down food, absorbs nutrients that the body needs for energy, growth, and cell repair, and rids the body of waste products.
