What does the digestive system consist of?
The digestive system. What is it?
What are the components of the digestive system?
Overview
Can you spot the organs and accessory glands in the digestive tract? Their role is to reduce the size of food so that it can be used to build and protect your body and ensure it functions properly. The abdominal brain acts like a conductor in an orchestra, making sure everything works in harmony.
Objective
Identify the digestive organs!
Overview
Discover the organs of the digestive tract! They break down food into smaller pieces for your body to use to help you grow and move!
Objective
Find out what the digestive organs look like!
Overview
Stomach, liver, pancreas... have fun identifying the organs and accessory glands in the digestive tract! They play an important role as they break down food into smaller pieces that are then used to build and protect your body and help it work well.
Objective
Learn how to recognise the digestive organs!
Overview
The function of the digestive tract and its accessory glands is to break down and absorb food. This then serves to build and protect the body and ensure it functions properly. The enteric nervous system, also known as the ‘abdominal brain’, coordinates all these functions without us even realising it.
Objective
Familiarisation with the depiction of the digestive tract and its associated organs
Understanding the role of the digestive tract
Defining the concept of the ‘abdominal brain’.
Overview
The digestive system, comprising the digestive tract and its accessory glands, breaks down and absorbs food. As food journeys through the digestive tract, it passes one segment after another, each fulfilling a particular function. The enteric nervous system, also known as the ‘abdominal brain’, orchestrates all these functions.
