Name three disorders of the digestive system and state the cause of each.

Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by the deposition of bile pigments when the liver is affected. Indigestion is the incomplete digestion of food from inadequate enzyme secretion, anxiety, overeating or spicy food. Diarrhoea is the abnormally rapid movement of the bowel contents with increased frequency, and vomiting is the ejection of the stomach contents through the mouth.
