Correct 100%
Define digestion - ANSWER the process by which food is broken down into absorbable
units.
Name and describe the function of the organs of the digestive system - ANSWER
Mouth
A body opening where an animal takes in food. Mechanical and Chemical digestion
start here.
Teeth
Hard structures in the mouth used for Mechanical Digestion: cutting, biting, and chewing
food.
Saliva
The liquid produced in the mouth that aids Chemical Digestion.
Esophagus
The tube connecting the mouth to the stomach. Food is moved through a process called
Peristalsis.
Stomach
The organ where food is reduced to liquid Chyme by Chemical (acid) and Mechanical
(muscle activity) digestion.
Small Intestine
The part of the digestive system between the stomach and large intestine that absorbs
nutrients from digested food using the Villi.
Large Intestine
The part of the digestive system between the small intestine and the rectum where
water is removed from the solid waste. Also called the Colon.
Colon
The large intestine where solid waste is dried and compacted in preparation for
elimination.
, Digestive System
The system of organs and structures responsible for the digestion, absorption, and
elimination of food. The digestive system includes Teeth, Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach,
Small, Intestine, Large Intestine. It relies on support from other organs like the Liver,
Gall Bladder, and Pancreas.
Digestion
The process of breaking down food into nutrients that can be used by cells.
Liver
Produces Bile to help break down fats in the small intestines
Gall Bladder
Stores extra Bile produced by the liver
Appendix
-No known digestive function
Stomach
-stores and mixes food
-begins chemical digestion of protein by enzymes and acid
-regulates delivary to the small intestine
Small intestine
-Digests proteins, fats,and carbohydrates
-Absorbes most of the water and nutrients
-Secretes digestive hormones and enzymes
Large Intestine
-Absorbs the last of water and nutrients
-Store waste materials
Sigmoid Colon
-Stores feces
