1. It is an opening at the end of the digestive system from which feces exit the body.
2. It is a small sac located near the start of the large intestine.
3. It is a long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements (called peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach.
4. It is a small, sac-like organ located by the duodenum. It stores and releases bile (a digestive chemical which is produced in the liver) into the small intestine.
5. It is the long, wide tube that food goes through after it goes through the small intestine.
6. It is a large organ located above and in front of the stomach. It filters toxins from the blood and makes bile (which breaks down fats) and some blood proteins.
7. It is the first part of the digestive system, where food enters the body. Chewing and salivary enzymes in the mouth are the beginning of the digestive process (breaking down the food).
8. It is an enzyme-producing gland located below the stomach and above the intestines. Enzymes from the pancreas help in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the small intestine.
9. It is the lower part of the large intestine, where feces are stored before they are excreted from the body.
10. It is the long, thin winding tube where food goes through after it leaves the stomach.
11. It is a sack-like, muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus. When food enters the stomach, it is churned in an acid bath.
Answer (1)
Here are the parts of the digestive system described:
Anus : This is the opening at the end of the digestive system from which feces exit the body. It plays a crucial role in the excretion process by allowing waste material to be eliminated.
Appendix : The small sac located near the start of the large intestine is the appendix. While it is traditionally thought to have a minimal role in the digestive process, some research suggests it may play a role in gut immunity.
Esophagus : This is the long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It utilizes rhythmic muscle movements called peristalsis to transport food from the throat into the stomach.
Gallbladder : This is a small, sac-like organ located by the duodenum. It stores and releases bile, a digestive chemical produced in the liver, into the small intestine to aid in digestion, particularly of fats.
Large Intestine (Colon) : This is the long, wide tube that food travels through after passing through the small intestine. It absorbs water and salts from the material that hasn't been digested as food, and it processes waste material to be excreted.
Liver : This large organ is located above and in front of the stomach. It filters toxins from the blood, produces bile to break down fats, and synthesizes some blood proteins.
Mouth : This is the first part of the digestive system, where food enters the body. Chewing mechanically breaks down food, and salivary enzymes start the chemical digestion process.
Pancreas : An enzyme-producing gland located below the stomach and above the intestines that aids digestion. Enzymes produced by the pancreas help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the small intestine.
Rectum : This is the lower part of the large intestine, where feces are stored before they are excreted from the body.
Small Intestine : A long, thin, winding tube where most digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs, after food leaves the stomach.
Stomach : This sack-like, muscular organ is attached to the esophagus. It mechanically and chemically churns food in an acid bath to begin digestion.
