Digestive System Organs
Some of the major organs that make up the digestive system are the esophagus, liver, stomach, large and small intestine, pancreas, rectum, and anus.

Esophagus Connective Tissue
This is several layers of tissue that work together to push food down your esophagus into your stomach to continue the process of digestion.

Homestasis
Homeostasis is what keeps your body warm. The organ system helps the body maintain homeostasis by shivering when you are cold to help you heat up, or by sweating when your are hot to help your body cool down. When your body can not maintain homeostasis, other organs fail, which leads to possibly death or severe illness. Hypothermia is something that affects homeostasis. Hypothermia is when you get very cold, and other organs in you body can not work because of it. It is caused when homeostasis can not be maintained.
Interactions With The Digestive System
Digestive System Interactions
The digestive system works with quite a few other body systems to keep the body alive.
Digestive System Working With Respiratory System
The digestive system works with the respiratory system because you can not breath whenever you are swallowing. This is why you can not breath when you choke. The food not only blocks the passage way to the stomach, but it blocks the passage way to the lungs.
Digestive System working with Excretory System
The digestive system works with the excretory system because after you eat, you have to get rid of all of the extra waste. Also, you have to get rid of the extra wast after you drink. The excretory system is the system that gets rid of wastes, such as food, and water.
