Activity 10 Digestive
System

I. Draw and label fully the following:

1. Alimentary Canal, Gastrointestinal Tract, Digestive Tract

2. Tunics of the Alimentary Canal

3. Deciduous Teeth
4. Anatomy of a Typical Tooth
5. Anatomy of the Stomach
6. Anatomy of the Small Intestine
7. Anatomy of the Large Intestine
8. Anatomy of the Pancreas
9. Anatomy of the Liver

10. Anatomy of the Villus

II. Complete the following table.
Digestive Tract Process Enzymes Action of Enzymes
1.Mouth Chemical & Amylase Breaks down starches
Mechanical (complex carbohydrates)
Digestion, into sugars, which your
Chewing of foods

body can more easily

absorb

2.Pharynx Passageway leading Amylase Breaks down starches

from the mouth and (complex carbohydrates)
nose to the esophagus into sugars, which your
and body can more easily
larynx absorb

3.Esophagus This pushes food and No Digestive None

liquid along Enzymes
 4.Stomach Secretes acid and Pepsin Produced in the stomach.
enzymes that digest Pepsin helps break down
food proteins into amino
acids.

5.Small Intestine Food from the Protease This activation occurs

stomach is mixed with through an activation
enzymes from the cascade
pancreas and bile from
the gallbladder

6.Large Intestine Absorb water, No digestive enzymes None

minerals, and some of
the remaining
nutrients from your
food

7.Rectum Receive stool from the Amylase & Lipase

colon.
8.Anus Ingestion

III. Complete the following table.

Sphincters along the Digestive Tract Location

1. Lower Esophageal Sphincter Gastro-esophageal junction (between the

stomach and esophagus)

2. Pyloric Sphincter It is found at the border of the stomach's final

segment, the pylorus, and the small intestine's
first segment, the duodenum

3.Ilocecal Sphincter Small Intestine

4. Anal Sphincter End of rectum

IV.
Parts of Stomach Function
 1.Cardia It contains the cardiac sphincter, which is a thin
ring of muscle that helps to prevent stomach
contents from going back up into the esophagus.

2.Fundus The rounded area that lies to the left of the cardia
and below the diaphragm.
3.Antrum The antrum holds the broken-down food until it is
ready to be released into the small intestine. It is
sometimes called the pyloric antrum.

4.Pylorus The pylorus is the part of the stomach that

connects to the small intestine. This region
includes the pyloric sphincter, which is a thick ring
of muscle that acts as a valve to control the
emptying of stomach contents (chyme) into the
duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The
pyloric sphincter also prevents the contents of the
duodenum from going back into the stomach.

V.
Parts of Small Intestine Function
1.Duodenum Continuous breaking-down process
2.Jejunum Absorption of nutrients
3.Ileum Absorption of nutrients

VI.
Parts of Large Intestine Function

1.Cecum Absorbs fluids and salts

2.Colon Reabsorb fluids and process waste products from

the body and prepare for its elimination.
3.Rectum Receive stool from colon
4.Anus Ingestion of the stool
