As a medical illustration unit with fully qualified medical artists, all areas of the human body are able to be illustrated in detail, from their anatomy to function to pathology. Here, we see various medical illustrations of the digestive system and associated anatomy, completed directly for surgeon's, educational books, patient education posters and any business in the market where clear visual interpretation is needed to complement websites to medical papers. All with the sole aim of explaining complicated medical matter into an understandable and engaging format.

What is the Digestive System
The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food.
Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine also called the colon rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract.
Two digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system
