The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ $A$ in his body. The organ $A$ receives the secretion of two glands: liver and pancreas. Liver secretes a greenish-yellow liquid $B$ which is normally stored in the organ $C$. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes $D$, $E$ and $F$. The intestinal juice completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ $A$ has millions of tiny finger-like projections $G$ which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into the blood stream. The undigested part of food then passes into a wider tube $H$ which absorbs most of the water from the undigested food. The last part of tube $H$ called $I$ stores this undigested food (or waste) for some time. The undigested food is then passed out through opening $J$ as faeces in the process known as $K$.
