Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the role of accessory organs in the digestive system. Accessory organs are those that aid in digestion but are not part of the main digestive tract.
Identify the main components of the digestive tract, which include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
Recognize that accessory organs include the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. These organs produce enzymes and substances that help in digestion but do not directly process food.
Consider the function of the stomach. The stomach is part of the main digestive tract where food is stored and broken down, not an accessory organ.
Conclude that the stomach is not an accessory organ, as it is directly involved in the digestion process within the digestive tract.
