Digestive System

The system of organs that breaks down food into nutrients for use by the body

Real World Example

Imagine trying to build a piece of furniture from a flat-pack kit, but the pieces are all jumbled together in a box. Just like you need to identify and assemble the right parts from the kit to create a functional piece of furniture, your digestive system takes the complex "kit" of food and breaks it down into usable nutrients. Just as separating and assembling the pieces correctly allows you to build a chair or table, your digestive system processes and organizes food into essential nutrients, ensuring your body can "build" energy, repair tissues, and maintain health.
