    The human digestion system consists of a series of organs and glads that process the food that we eat. The digestion process starts when food enters the mouth, then with the chewing of food. The salivary glads help break down the food with enzymes so that it is easier to swallow. While the food is being chewed it is turned into bolos, which then travels down the pharynx and through the esophagus. The esophagus is the long tube that runs from the mouth to the stomach. After the food reaches the stomach it is partially digested and mixed with the stomach acids called chyme.…

    The digestive system consists primarily of the alimentary canal, a tube that extends from the mouth to the rectum. As food moves through this canal, it is ground and mixed with various digestive juices. Most of these juices contain digestive enzymes, chemicals that speed up reactions involved in the breakdown of food. The stomach and the small intestines, which are parts of the alimentary canal, each produce a digestive juice. Other digestive juices empty into the alimentary canal from the salivary glands, gall bladder, and pancreas. These organs are also part of the digestive system.…

The stomach is bigger than that of a hindgut fermenter considering its usually a bigger animal, the stomach has an extra chamber to help devour glucose from the cellulose (the herbivores diet is largely cellulose and is broken down by the microbes) and nutrients and then produce fatty acids that the animal can use for energy, It also usually has a long small intestine (and usually has small expansions along the intestines to accomodate for so much bacteria), with a a caecum thats not to long and a medium length colon (Microbes can be digested further along the digestive tract and they're are also a source of protein) Forgut fermenters are usually larger herbivores and forgut fermentation is a slower digestive process.

    The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract—a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus—and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two “solid” digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine.…
