Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of accessory organs in the digestive system. Accessory organs are those that aid in digestion but are not part of the digestive tract itself.
Identify the accessory organs listed in the problem: Pancreas, Gallbladder, and Liver. These organs contribute to digestion by producing enzymes, storing bile, and processing nutrients.
Recognize that the stomach is part of the digestive tract, not an accessory organ. It is directly involved in the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.
Compare the functions of the stomach with those of the accessory organs. The stomach's primary role is to digest food, whereas accessory organs assist in digestion without being part of the tract.
Conclude that the stomach is not an accessory organ of digestion, as it is part of the main digestive tract.
