Report on Structure and Function of Alimentary Canal_2

INTRODUCTIONAlimentary canal of a human body is a tubular passage that extends from mouth to theanus. It creates a tract in which food is passed and digested (Purchon, 2013).This wholeprocedures is segregated into different processes. In the present report, structure of alimentarycanal will be discussed along with their relation with the functional of alimentary canal. Also,principles of different digestive processes namely ingestion, digestion, absorption, digestion andegestion will be analysed along with their contribution to the efficient system.MAIN BODYDefinition and functions of alimentary canal organsAlimentary canal is regarded as the digestive tract through which food is entered inhuman body and solid wastes are expelled out. It is long hollow tube running from mouth toanus. It constitutes integration of several organs and build a complete digestive system. It willamaze that the average length of this tube is 5 to 6 meters. In order to make itself fit in the humanbody, this tract is coiled inside the abdomen (Rehfeld, Nylander and Karnov, 2017). Thefunction of alimentary canal is to accept entry of food in human body and them to expel it out. Inorder to attain this, various organs that are used are as follows: mouth, stomach, the smallintestine, oesophagus, large intestine, anus, pancreas, rectum, etc. Also, there are some otherorgans which are used in supportive actions to function alimentary canal. All these can be seenby the following diagram:
