The Human Digestive System. In the digestive system, ingested food is converted into a form that can be absorbed into the circulatory system circulatory system,group of organs that transport blood and the substances it carries to and from all parts of the body.ost food, however, is not absorbed in the stomach and passes into the duodenum (first section of the small intestine) in the form of a thick liquid called chyme. Digestive enzymes from the pancreas pancreas, glandular organ that secretes digestive enzymes and hormones.
Once food has passed the sphincter, it enters the stomach, where it is mushed and churned by the muscular movement of the stomach. Highly acidic juices are secreted to breakdown the food, and it then becomes a soup-like substance called chyme. Once it is able to, the chyme (semi-digested food) passes onto the duodenum.
