The digestive system is the interface between the supply of food for an animal and the demand for energy and nutrients to maintain the body, to grow, and to reproduce. Digestive systems are not morphologically static but rather dynamically respond to changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of the diet and the level of food intake. source: Barboza PS, Bennett A, Lignot JH, Mackie RI, McWhorter TJ, Secor SM, Skovgaard N, Sundset MA, Wang T.: Digestive challenges for vertebrate animals: microbial diversity, cardiorespiratory coupling, and dietary specialization.
