FIGURE SHOWING A WELL LABELLED HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Majority of mammals, including human beings, have two sets of teeth during their life that is one temporary set and one permanent or adult tooth. Such type of dentition is called diphyodont.

Note: Oesophagus- the oesophagus is a thin, long tube which extends posteriorly passing through the neck, thorax and diaphragm and leads to a j- shaped bag like structure called stomach.
Liver- It is the largest gland of the body weighing about 1.2 to 1.5 kg in an adult human. It is situated in the abdominal cavity, just below the diaphragm, it has two lobes that are right and left lobes.
Gall bladder:- It produces and stores bile. Bile is used to convert large globules of fats to small globules of fat. This process is called emulsification.
Pancreas:- Pancreas is a merocrine gland. It releases enzymes such as pepsin that converts protein into amino acids.
