A Multiple Learning Styles Approach, 3e AB - The digestive system is also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) system. It includes all the structures of the alimentary canal, from the mouth to the anus, and the accessory organs. The digestive system has two key functions: digestion and excretion. The organs of the GI system break down food into usable nutrients and then eliminate bulk waste in the form of feces. SN - PB - F.A.
