Step-by-step solution for: Label the Digestive System exercise
Let’s go step by step to label the digestive system correctly.
We’ll start from the top (mouth area) and move down through the body, matching each part with its correct name.
1. The first box at the very top right points to the salivary glands — these make saliva to help break down food in your mouth.
2. The box on the left pointing to the mouth area is the mouth — where digestion starts when you chew.
3. The next box on the right, going down the throat, is the esophagus — it’s the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach.
4. On the left side, below the esophagus, we have the liver — it makes bile to help digest fats.
5. Right under the liver, there’s a small sac — that’s the gallbladder, which stores bile until needed.
6. On the right side, next to the stomach, is the stomach — it mixes and breaks down food with acids and enzymes.
7. Below the stomach, there’s a long, flat organ — that’s the pancreas — it makes enzymes and hormones like insulin.
8. In the middle of the belly, coiled up, is the small intestine — this is where most nutrients are absorbed.
9. Around the small intestine is the large intestine — it absorbs water and forms poop.
10. At the bottom left, the end of the large intestine leads to the rectum — where waste is stored before leaving the body.
11. Finally, the last box at the bottom right points to the anus — where waste exits the body.
Now let’s list them in order as they appear in the diagram (left to right, top to bottom):
Left side boxes (top to bottom):
- Mouth
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Large Intestine
- Rectum
Right side boxes (top to bottom):
- Salivary Glands
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Pancreas
- Small Intestine
- Anus
Wait — let’s double-check the positions based on standard diagrams:
Actually, looking again:
Top right: Salivary Glands
Top left: Mouth
Middle right (down neck): Esophagus
Middle left (under ribs): Liver
Below liver: Gallbladder
Middle right (next to liver): Stomach
Below stomach: Pancreas
Center coil: Small Intestine
Outer coil around small intestine: Large Intestine
Bottom left: Rectum
Bottom right: Anus
So final labeling per box position:
Left column (from top to bottom):
1. Mouth
2. Liver
3. Gallbladder
4. Large Intestine
5. Rectum
Right column (from top to bottom):
1. Salivary Glands
2. Esophagus
3. Stomach
4. Pancreas
5. Small Intestine
6. Anus
Yes — that matches standard anatomy.
Final Answer:
Left side (top to bottom):
Mouth, Liver, Gallbladder, Large Intestine, Rectum
Right side (top to bottom):
Salivary Glands, Esophagus, Stomach, Pancreas, Small Intestine, Anus

Right side boxes (top to bottom):

- Anus

So final labeling per box position:
Left column (from top to bottom):
1. Mouth
2. Liver
3. Gallbladder
4. Large Intestine
5. Rectum
Right column (from top to bottom):

Final Answer:
Left side (top to bottom):
Mouth, Liver, Gallbladder, Large Intestine, Rectum
Right side (top to bottom):
Salivary Glands, Esophagus, Stomach, Pancreas, Small Intestine, Anus
