Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

Okay class.
Don’t return to your seats just yet. Let’s do another (5 Students approaches in front)
activity. Here are 5 envelopes. Choose one representative
of your group and proceed in front. Choose one envelope. (Students return to their groups with own envelopes)
Then proceed to your respective groups.

Now, open your envelopes and identify the specific image

and discuss its function in 3minutes. Okay, time is up! (Student discussion) They are parts of the digestive

learned the following parts in your previous year.

Now will discuss the Digestive process in detail.

So with that what is the function of the digestive system? The system responsible for food after we eat is Digestive
System.”
Yes. The digestive system Is responsible for breakdown
and absorption of nutrients from food thereby bringing
energy for the body. So now, One representative per
group will discuss their collaboration in front.
We have have it!
Who among you have the mouth image?

Okay! Be the first to discuss your work. The mouth offers an entry of food into the body. It is also
where the mechanical breakdown begins.

Good job!

Yes!

The mouth breaks down food into bits to facilitate

transfer thru the esophagus to the stomach.

This is a process called mastication. It also serves as the

initial stage of digestion with the enzyme converting Salivary amylase!
carbohydrates. What is that enzyme?

And now let’s follow the food as it passes through the Esophagus!
digestive system. From the mouth, food passes through

ideas?
That’s correct! So what do we call that rhythmic Peristalsis!
movement?

That’s right. So through peristalsis, the food,or now

called chyme, goes through the cardiac sphincter, a ring-
shaped muscle where food enters from esophagus to
stomach that prevents food reflux. The food then is
transported to the stomach.

So again, what is that muscle that prevent reflux? The cardiac sphincter!

Correct. Now, which group now hold the stomach? Can The stomach further forms the food into smaller portions

bacteria present in the ingested food. It also has pepsin

Yes that’s correct. Now, where does the food go after Small intestines!
passing the stomach?

Now who among you the small intestine picture? Please The small intestine is where pancreatic juices aids in

longest part of the digestive system.
Yes, that’s correct. You may return to your seat.
Furthurmore in the small intestine, bile acts on the food.
Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
It break down fats into smaller droplets.

What organ produces bile? Liver!

How about the one that stores bile? Gallbladder!

That’s correct!

Small intestines the remains of the digestion and The large intestine is composed by the ascending,

Yes, that true. You may now return to your seat. The
large intestine is composed by the ascending, transverse
and descending colon, the appendix, anus and rectum. It
is also where absorption of water occurs. The remains
after water has been absorbed are now called STOOL or
FECES then it will be stored in the rectum then excrete to
the anus.

The large intestine is composed by the ascending,

transverse and descending colon, the anus and rectum. It
is also where the appendix is. It also contains the feces
ready for excretion.

So in summary, the digestive system is composed of?
All are which function to do what?
Very good! So now, we will have our next activity.
The mouth, esophagus, stomach, large and small
intestines!
They are responsible for breakdown and absorption of
nutrients from food thereby bringing energy for the
body.
