Digestive System. The digestive system is the means by which food and water are taken into the body and broken down so that they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The digestive system is a continuous tube consisting of the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine (see Figure 4). Mouth Liver Large intestine Oesophagus Stomach Small intestine Figure 4 The Digestive System During digestion, food is broken down into simple chemical compounds which are absorbed from the small intestine into the bloodstream and transferred via the liver to body tissues. The unabsorbed food has most of the water removed as it passes through the large intestine and is passed out of the body as solid waste (faeces). The digestive system is also a major route by which radionuclides may enter the body. Soluble radionuclides in food, water and other material entering the mouth (e.g. by chewing fingernails) will be absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to body tissue. Insoluble radioactive material will pass through the digestive system and be excreted in the faeces. The amount of radioactive material which enters the circulatory system depends on many factors including the chemical and physical characteristics of the ingested material.
