“Correct”
Today will be dealing about the
organs that help us get nutrients
from food.
Now, discuss the process of
digestion with your group based
on this illustration. Then choose

“Digestions starts from the mouth
when we take in the food. Then
when the food is swallowed, it
will go down to the esophagus.
And the half digestion food will
move down to the stomach
where it mixes with gastric juice
and acids. Digestion ends in the
small intestine where nutrients
are absorbed on they will and the

will go to the large intestine
where water also re absorbs. The
waste and the water that was not
re absorbed are temporarily
stored in the rectum. And
eventually excreted out of the
body through the anus.
