And, by the way, the organ whereby food is taken in is called the mouth, and the organ whereinto it is taken, the belly; the remainder of the alimentary system has a great variety of names.

And laid open, the accordion-like surface area of that alimentary canal would cover a small apartment.

Gut microbial health, once a fringe medical interest, is now mainstream for human beings, as bugs in the alimentary canal are linked with conditions ranging from obesity to arthritis.

In peristalsis, the smooth muscles of the walls of your digestive organs take turns contracting and relaxing to squeeze food through the lumen, or cavity, of your alimentary tract.

Smooth muscles are used to control the flow of substances within the lumens of hollow organs, for examples, blood vessels and the alimentary canal, and are not consciously controlled.

And this brings me to your crucial accessory organs — the things apart from the alimentary canal that never come in contact with ingested material, but still play an essential role in digestion.

And here, the accessory digestive organs — namely, the liver, pancreas and gallbladder — secrete enzymes into the alimentary canal, where they ambush the mush and break it down into its most basic chemical building blocks.
