AB  - The  organs  associated  with  the  digestive  tract  include  the  major  salivary  glands,  the  pancreas,  the  liver,  and  the  gallbladder.  Products  of  these  organs  facilitate  transport  and  digestion  of  food  within  the  gastrointestinal  tract.  The  main  functions  of  the  salivary  glands  are  to  moisten  and  lubricate  ingested  food  and  the  oral  mucosa,  to  initiate  the  digestion  of  carbohydrates  and  lipids  with  amylase  and  lipase,  and  to  secrete  innate  immune  components  such  as  lysozyme  and  lactoferrin.
