Digestive System Overview Quiz

The network of organs that processes food and liquids, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste.

The path food travels through, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.

Organs that aid the digestive process but food doesn't directly pass through them.

Breaking down food into smaller components for absorption.

The process of taking in essential nutrients from digested food.

Removing the unusable parts of food from the body.

Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and accessory organs.

The steps involved in processing food, from ingestion to absorption and elimination.

Ingestion and initial digestion of food, including chewing and saliva action.

Tube connecting mouth to stomach, moving food via peristalsis.

Stores food, conducts mechanical and chemical digestion.

Produces enzymes for digestion and regulates blood sugar.

Produces bile for fat digestion, detoxifies blood, and more.

Nutrient absorption from digested food.

Water absorption and waste formation.

A learning activity where students act out roles of different organs to show how the digestive system works.

A visual representation of the digestive system to show the location and function of organs.

Working together in small groups to learn and complete tasks.

The specific job of each organ in the digestive system.

What is needed to do the projects or activities.

A group discussion in the classroom where students share their understanding of a topic.

Evaluating how well students understand the work they've completed, based on the criteria

A physical model demonstrating the connection between various organs in the digestive tract.

Evaluation of student work on role play presentation, comic strips, and 3D models.

The path food takes as it's processed, broken down, and absorbed in the digestive system.

Students work together in assigned groups to understand and represent the digestive system.

Students choose a specific food item to follow through the digestive system.

Individual sections of a comic strip that each depict a specific step in a process

The physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces, like chewing.

The process of breaking down food molecules into simpler substances using enzymes.

Wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.

The thick, soupy mixture of partially digested food in the stomach.

Tiny finger-like projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from digested food.

A fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fats in the small intestine.

The process of removing waste products (feces) from the body through the anus.

The esophagus acts as a muscular tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach using rhythmic contractions called peristalsis.

The stomach churns food, mixes it with gastric juices containing digestive enzymes, and breaks down food into smaller particles.

The small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption. It receives digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder.

The liver produces bile, which helps break down fats. It also detoxifies the blood and stores nutrients like glycogen.

The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver, releasing it into the small intestine when needed.
