16-20. The digestion of food in the digestive organs have 2 types – Physical digestion and Chemical
Digestion. Write PD if it tells us a physical digestion process and CD if Chemical Digestion
process.
16. In the mouth, foods are cut and grind by teeth into smaller pieces.
17. In the mouth, food are mixes with saliva and changes starch into maltose.
18. At the stomach, the good goes down here stimulates the gastric juices turning protein into pepsin
of polypeptides.
19. In the small intestine, there are numerous glands along the inner wall that secrete digestive fluids,
intestinal juice which contains several enzymes that digest protein & polypeptides into amino
acids.
20. The large intestine secretes mucus to aid in the formation of feces and maintains alkaline
conditions to compact waste materials.

21-40. Use the words in the box to fill in the blanks.

stomach chewed food energy Rectum
Cut/Grind Saliva swallow Large intestine Small intestine

Ingestion

All animals have a group of connected organs call digestive (21) ________ . They need to eat
(22)________________ to get (23)_______________ that gives them the capacity to do work. But to use this
food by the body, there are processes. The first process of (24) _____________ is (25) ___________. Where
food is (26) ____________ into smaller pieces by the (27)_________. These teeth and the (28) ____________
helps by moving these food around the mouth and its pieces are got into wet by (29)____________. The
saliva makes the food slippery so that it is easier to (30)____________ and to pass through going down.
Once the food is swallowed, it passes through the (31)____________ which is like a gate that
sends the food into the (32)_____________, the pipelike tube connected to the (33)_________________, a
J shape organ where the chemical digestion occurs. Once in the stomach, the food is mixed with (34)
____________ and crushed some more.
While at the stomach, the (35) ___________________produces BILE to digest fatty foods .After
spending some time in the stomach, the food is sent into the (36)__________________ where nutrients
are ready for the (37)_________________ process of the body. After the absorption of the nutrients, the
remaining food goes to the (38)__________________ intestine where most amount of liquid is absorbed.
The remaining food that serves as (39)____________ materials is pushed into the (40)
____________________and ready to undergo excretion process.
