THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND HOWIT WORKS
1) Mouth The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that
are more easily digested, while ______ mixes with food to begin the process ofbreaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use.
2) Throat Also called the _______, the throat is the next destination for food you've eaten. From
here, food travels to the oesophagus or swallowing tube.
3) Oesophagus The oesophagus is a muscular tube extending from the pharynx to the stomach. By means
of a series of contractions, called _________, it delivers food to the stomach.
4) Stomach
Food is mixed with __________, which are produced by stomach lining. The stomachsecretes acid and powerful enzymes that continue the process of breaking down thefood. From there the food moves to the small intestine.

5)Small Intestine Made up of three segments, the duodenum, jejunum,
and ileum, the small intestine is a long tube looselycoiled in the abdomen (____ m long) where mostdigestion takes place. The small intestine continues
the process of breaking down food by using enzymesreleased by the pancreas and bile from the liver.Digested food is absorbed into the ______ throughthe walls of the small intestine
6) Large intestine Water, mineral salts and vitamins are absorbed from
the undigested food here. Wastes are stored in the_______, until they leave the body in the form of________.
7) Pancreas Produces ________ juice These enzymes break down
protein, fat, and carbohydrates from the food we eat.
8)Liver Produces ______ which helps to break _____ into
small pieces
9)Gallbladder _____ is stored here until it is needed

Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
Two types of digestion take place in our bodies:
1. Mechanical digestion Food is ______ broken down into smaller pieces. Starts with the ______ and continues throughout the digestive system as
food is squeezed and pushed by various ______ in the process ofperistalsis
2. Chemical digestion Involves changing food into molecules of simpler substances, which can
dissolve in ______.
_______ juices at various places in the digestive system help this happen These digestive juices contain_________, which break down large foodmolecules into smaller ones
When digestion is complete, the food particles are small enough to passfrom intestine into blood. The blood then carries these nutrients aroundthe body to be used for energy, growth and repair of cells

Cows digestive system
Structure of an animals digestive system is adapted to suit whatthe animal eats.
______ is a plant fiber that cannot be digested by humans.Herbivores, such as cows are able to digest cellulose because they
have special ______ living in their ___________stomachsCows chew their food and swallow it. Later on, they bring the foo
back up and chew again. This is known as _____________.After chewed second time, it goes into another part of stomach,
where bacteria break down the cellulose in the process ofchemical digestion

The digestive systems of some other animals Birds do not have ______ at all. They peck their food into smaller parts before
swallowing it and storing in in their crops. When food leaves the crop, it enters a chamber called a ________. In most birds,
the gizzard holds grit and small stones that the bird has swallowed. These work together with the strong muscular walls of the gizzard to break down the
food. Snakes are able to eat whole live animals that are bigger than their mouths. They do this by unhinging their ______ to allow the food to pass through into the
oesophagus Once the prey is in the oesophagus, strong muscles move it onwards. The snakes have
extremely powerful ________juices, which allow it to digest bones, teeth and fur Earthworms live in soil and eat decaying plant material. They, like birds, store their food in a _______ before it enters a gizzard. The gizzard has strong muscular walls, which help to crush and break down food Digested food is absorbed from the intestine and dirt, stones and undigested food are
passed out through the _______
