1. Salivary glands: The salivary glands present in mammals are exocrine glands which produces saliva that contains salivary amylase enzyme through a system of ducts. Humans contain three paired major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual), a pair of seromucous tubarial glands and as well as various minor salivary glands.
2. Stomach: Stomach is a muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen and it stomach receives food from the oesophagus through the buccal cavity. As food reaches the end of the oesophagus, it enters to the stomach which secretes acid and various enzymes that helps in the digestion of food.
3. Liver: The liver is the largest gland that only found in vertebrates which detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins and produces biochemical substances which are necessary for digestion and growth. In humans, it is located in the right upper part of the abdomen.
4. Rectum: The rectum is a chamber that starts at the end of the large intestine, immediately continues the sigmoid colon, and ends at the anus. The rectum is empty because stool is stored higher in the descending colon.
5. Small Intestine: The small intestine is an organ in gastrointestinal tract where most of the end of absorption of nutrients and minerals from food takes place. It is present between the stomach and large intestine, and it receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct for the digestion of complex substances.
6. Large Intestine: The large intestine is shorter than the small intestine and is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates. Water is absorbed in the large intestine and the remaining waste material is stored as faeces before the elimination or by defecation.
7. Anus: The anus is the opening where the gastrointestinal tract ends and exits from the body. The anus starts at the bottom part of the rectum and is the last portion of the colon i.e. large intestine. The anorectal line helps in the separation of the anus from the rectum.
