The digestive system is mainly a long tube that runs from the 1_____________ to the 2 ____________.
The tube is called the 3____________, or alimentary canal. The alimentary canal is associated with the
organs of the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. These organs assist digestion by secreting 4 ___________
that help break down the food so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. The digestion of food
begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the 5 ______________. Any undigested food is eliminated
from the body via the 6___________. There are two forms of digestion. 7_____________ involves the
mechanical process of chewing in the mouth and churning due to the backward and forward motion of
the stomach walls. 8______________ is the use of enzymes to break down the food into smaller
particles that can be absorbed into the body.
