A remote-controlled car is composed of parts such

                as wheels, a controlling device, motor, batteries, gear,

                coil, antenna, etc. Likewise, the digestive system is com-

                posed of various components. These include the teeth,
                tongue, oesophagus, stomach,

                and intestines.

                     No w

                think. Would

                a remote

                ate if it did not

                have antenna or

                wheels? Of course not. The car can run

                only if all of its parts are present. The same ap-

                plies to the digestive system. The presence of the stom-

                ach would be meaningless unless there were also an

                oesophagus, since what carries food to the stomach is

                the oesophagus. In like manner, intestines cannot possi-

                bly be of any use unless there is a stomach, because the
                foods digested in the stomach are passed into the in-

                testines, where they are given the proper form to be con-
