Here is the step-by-step solution to complete the worksheet.
Part 1: Labeling the Diagram
We need to identify the parts of the digestive system based on the lines pointing to the diagram.
1.
Top Left Line: Points to the mouth area. ->
Mouth
2.
Top Right Line: Points to the long tube connecting the mouth to the stomach. ->
Oesophagus
3.
Second Line from Top (Left): Points to the large organ on the right side of the body (left side of the image). ->
Liver
4.
Second Line from Top (Right): Points to the J-shaped organ. ->
Stomach
5.
Third Line from Top (Left): Points to the organ tucked behind the stomach. ->
Pancreas
6.
Third Line from Top (Right): Points to the small organ under the liver. ->
Gall bladder
7.
Fourth Line from Top (Left): Points to the narrow, coiled tube in the center. ->
Small intestine
8.
Fourth Line from Top (Right): Points to the wider tube surrounding the small intestine. ->
Large intestine
9.
Fifth Line from Top (Left): Points to the final section of the large intestine. ->
Rectum
10.
Bottom Line: Points to the exit point. ->
Anus
Part 2: Completing the Table
Now we fill in the blanks for the functions of each structure.
*
Mouth: "Were food
enters the body. Also called ingestion." (Note: "enters" fits best, though "enters into" is grammatically smoother, "enters" fits the single blank).
*
Salivary glands: "Produce
saliva that break down
starch and lubricate food."
*
Oesophagus: "
Food travels down here to the
stomach."
*
Stomach: "Contains
acid and
enzymes to
break down food and kill
bacteria." (Alternative: "kill germs" or "kill microbes").
*
Small intestine: "Where
nutrients are absorbed." (Or "food" or "digested food").
*
Large intestine: "Where
water is absorbed."
*
Rectum: "Stores the
faeces." (Or "waste" or "stool").
*
Anus: "Expels
faeces from the
body."
*
Pancreas: "Secretes
enzymes and
alkali (or bicarbonate) into the small intestine."
*
Gall bladder: "Stores
bile which helps to break down
fats."
*
Liver: "Produces
bile which helps to break down
fats."
Final Answer:
Diagram Labels (Top to Bottom, Left to Right):
1. Mouth
2. Oesophagus
3. Liver
4. Stomach
5. Pancreas
6. Gall bladder
7. Small intestine
8. Large intestine
9. Rectum
10. Anus
Table Functions:
*
Mouth: enters
*
Salivary glands: saliva, starch
*
Oesophagus: Food, stomach
*
Stomach: acid, enzymes, break, bacteria (or germs)
*
Small intestine: nutrients
*
Large intestine: water
*
Rectum: faeces (or waste)
*
Anus: faeces, body
*
Pancreas: enzymes, alkali (or bicarbonate)
*
Gall bladder: bile, fats
*
Liver: bile, fats
