Learning objective

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to draw and label a picture of the human digestive system.

What do you already know about how our body digests food?

Introduction to the Digestive System

The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients. It includes organs like the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and more.

Step 1: The Mouth

The digestive process starts in the mouth where food is chewed and mixed with saliva.

Step 2: The Esophagus

Food travels down the esophagus in a movement called peristalsis toward the stomach.

Step 3: The Stomach

Step 4: The Small Intestine

The small intestine absorbs nutrients from the digested food into the bloodstream.

Step 5: The Large Intestine

The large intestine absorbs water and forms waste, which is then excreted.

Review and Complete the Drawing

Finalize your digestive system drawing. Ensure all parts are labeled correctly.
