Interactive digestive system worksheet for students to match functions with body parts.

Explanation:
Let’s look at each function and find the correct part of the digestive system that does it.

1. "The stomach juices mash the food and turn it to paste."
→ This happens in the stomach.

2. "The food moves into the stomach."
→ This happens after the food is swallowed. It travels from the mouth through the esophagus.

3. "Waste is released."
→ This happens at the end of the digestive system. The waste leaves through the anus.

4. "The food moves to the food tube."
→ The food tube is another name for the esophagus.

5. "Intestinal juices help to digest the food."
→ This happens in the small intestine.

6. "The food moves to the food tube/esophagus."
→ This is the same as number 4. The food moves to the esophagus.

7. "The food is chewed and mixed with saliva."
→ This happens in the mouth.

8. "Nutrients get absorbed."
→ This happens in the small intestine.

9. "The food moves into the stomach."
→ This happens through the esophagus.

Now let’s match each function to the correct body part:

- The stomach juices mash the food and turn it to paste. → Stomach
- The food moves into the stomach. → Esophagus
- Waste is released. → Anus
- The food moves to the food tube. → Esophagus
- Intestinal juices help to digest the food. → Small intestine
- The food moves to the food tube/esophagus. → Esophagus
- The food is chewed and mixed with saliva. → Mouth
- Nutrients get absorbed. → Small intestine
- The food moves into the stomach. → Esophagus

Final Answer:
- The stomach juices mash the food and turn it to paste. → Stomach
- The food moves into the stomach. → Esophagus
- Waste is released. → Anus
- The food moves to the food tube. → Esophagus
- Intestinal juices help to digest the food. → Small intestine
- The food moves to the food tube/esophagus. → Esophagus
- The food is chewed and mixed with saliva. → Mouth
- Nutrients get absorbed. → Small intestine
- The food moves into the stomach. → Esophagus
