This canal is responsible for the process of digestion, absorption, and elimination of food. The second category is the accessory organs, which include the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder. These organs assist in the digestion, absorption, and storage of food substances. Together, these two categories of organs work together to ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.
