35. The partially digested food coming from the stomach of a person enters a long and narrow organ
A in his body. The organ A receives the secretions of two glands: liver and pancreas. Liver
secretes a greenish-yellow liquid B which is normally stored in the organ C. Pancreas secretes
pancreatic juice which contains three digestive enzymes D, E and F. The intestinal juice
completes the process of digestion of food. The inner wall of organ A has millions of tiny finger-
like projections G which help in the rapid absorption of digested food into blood stream. The
undigested part of food then passes into wider tube H which absorbs most of the water from
undigested food. The last part of tube H called I stores this undigested food (or waste) for some
time. The undigested food is then passed out though opening J as faeces in the process known
as K.
(a) Name the organ A.
(b) Name (i) liquid B (ii) organ C.
(c) What are the digestive enzymes D, E and F?
(d) Name the projections G present on the inner wall of organ A.
(e) Name (i) tube H (ii) part I (iii) opening J (iv) process K. 6m
36. When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The
glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The
substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly
digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls
of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric
juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which
may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the
damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is an enzyme for digestion. The partially
digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.
(a) What is (i) gland A (ii) substance B (iii) enzyme C?
(b) Name the tube D.
(c) What is the movement E known as?
(d) What are (i) F (ii) G (iii) H? 5m

47. Veins & arteries carry blood. Which of these carry blood away from the heart & back to the
heart? 2m
