Digestion is a crucial, bodily function in which many different organ systems work together.  By coordinating with the other systems in the body, our digestive system is able to ingest food, process the nutrients found in food, and eliminate the wastes.  This coordination is crucial, because dysfunction can result if the other body systems are not working together.  This coordination helps to ensure that we are able to function as human beings.
