The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion . Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body. The process of digestion has three stages: the cephalic phase, the gastric phase, and the intestinal phase.
