One of the major organs in the Digestive system is the liver. Weighing in at around 3 pounds, the liver is the body's second largest organ; only the skin is larger and heavier. The liver performs many essential functions related to digestion, metabolism, immunity, and the storage of nutrients within the body. http://www.innerbody.com/image_digeov/card10-new2.html

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract; and, in fact, digestion starts here when taking the first bite of food. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use. Located in your throat near your trachea (windpipe), the esophagus receives food from your mouth when you swallow.

A major organ is the Large Intestine, it's function it that it drains extra water out of waste. One of the accessory organs is the Liver. The liver has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine.
