-Stomach
-Small intestine
>Duodenum

34
Liver
>Secretes bile to help break down fat for digestion and absorption. All blood leaving the stomach and intestine passes through the liver
>The liver processes the blood and breaks down, balances, and creates nutrients for the body to use
>It also breaks down medicines in the blood into forms that are easier for the body to use
