for digestion both physical and chemical until the food is transformed into absorbable
particle then assimilated by the body and converted by metabolism, and eliminate
the waste materials to protect the body, in order for this process to proceed the food
has to pass and be transformed by the organs of the digestive system

II. Objectives:
A. Determine the parts and location of the different organ of the digestive system
B. Determine the histological features of the organ of the digestive system
C. Determine the function of the different organ

III. Materials Needed:
