DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

MOUTH

- Production of saliva in our mouths. - This helps the teeth to crush food as we chew it. -The tongue shapes the food into a ball called bolus. - When we swallow, the bolus passes into the oesophagus.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

It is a special flat part at the back of the tongue,which prevents food from going down the windpipe and into the lungs.

EPIGLOTIS

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

OESOPHAGUS

The muscles in the wall of the oesophagus slowly squeeze the food down to the stomach..

It is a stretchy tube that links the back of the throat with the stomach.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

It breaks down food using its strong muscular walls and excreting gastric juices which mix with the bolus and kill dangerous bacteria.

STOMACH

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Bile is produced by the liver

LIVER

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Pancreatic juices are produced by the pancreas.

PANCREAS

The food mixture is broken down into proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fats. These nutrients pass through the walls of the small intestine and are absorbed into the blood.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The liquid from the stomach passes into the small intestine. Here it mixes with bile (liver) and pancreatic juices (pancreas),

SMALL INTESTINE

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The waste that our body does not need passes to the large intestine. Here, water from this waste is absorbed into the blood. º

large INTESTINE

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The solid waste leaves our body through the anus.

ANUS

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

- Ingestion: is when food passes from the mouth to the stomach. - Digestion: is the process of breaking down food into nutrients. - Absorption: is when nutrients pass into the blood. - Elimination: is when solid waste leaves our body.
