Digestive System
The system of organs that breaks down food into nutrients for use by the body
Real World Example
Imagine trying to assemble a complex piece of furniture from a flat-pack box. Just as you need to unpack the box, identify the pieces, and follow instructions to build your new chair, your digestive system works similarly to break down food. The digestive system unpacks the food you eat, breaking it down into smaller, usable parts—nutrients—just like you break down the furniture parts to fit them together. The stomach and intestines act like the instruction manual and tools, guiding the process and ensuring all the pieces (nutrients) are in the right place for your body to build and maintain its health.
