Since I can't view or access images directly, I can’t see the diagram you’re referring to. However, based on your description — a
Digestive System Worksheet with a diagram and a list of terms to label — I can help you solve it by guiding you through how to correctly label the digestive system using the provided terms.
Here’s the list of terms from your worksheet:
Terms to label:
- Mouth
- Salivary Gland
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Liver
- Pancreas
- Gall Bladder
- Duodenum
- Jejunum
- Ileum
- Large Intestine
- Appendix
- Rectum
- Anus
- Pharynx
- Trachea
- Pyloric Sphincter
- Anal Sphincter

Step-by-step guide to labeling the digestive system diagram:
1.
Mouth – The entry point for food; located at the top of the diagram.
2.
Salivary Glands – Usually shown near the mouth (e.g., parotid glands near the ears).
3.
Pharynx – The tube behind the mouth that connects to both the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus.
4.
Trachea – The windpipe, which goes down beside the esophagus (not part of digestion, but often shown nearby).
5.
Esophagus – The long tube that carries food from the pharynx to the stomach.
6.
Stomach – A J-shaped organ where food is mixed with gastric juices.
7.
Pyloric Sphincter – The valve at the bottom of the stomach that controls food passage into the small intestine.
8.
Duodenum – The first section of the small intestine, connected to the stomach.
9.
Liver – Located above the stomach, on the right side of the abdomen.
10.
Gall Bladder – Small sac under the liver, stores bile.
11.
Pancreas – Behind the stomach, secretes enzymes into the duodenum.
12.
Jejunum – Middle section of the small intestine, after the duodenum.
13.
Ileum – Last part of the small intestine, connects to the large intestine.
14.
Large Intestine (Colon) – The wider tube that surrounds the small intestine; absorbs water.
15.
Appendix – A small pouch attached to the beginning of the large intestine (cecum).
16.
Rectum – The final section of the large intestine before the anus.
17.
Anus – The opening at the end of the digestive tract.
18.
Anal Sphincter – Muscular ring around the anus that controls defecation.

How to approach the diagram:
- Start from the
top (mouth) and follow the path of food.
- Trace the
esophagus down to the
stomach.
- From the stomach, food moves into the
duodenum, then
jejunum, then
ileum.
- The
large intestine wraps around the small intestine.
- End at the
rectum and
anus.
- Organs like the
liver,
pancreas, and
gall bladder are accessory organs — they connect to the duodenum via ducts.

Tips:
- The
trachea is not part of the digestive system but is shown for anatomical context (it's near the esophagus).
- The
salivary glands are typically shown near the mouth (parotid, submandibular, sublingual).
- The
pyloric sphincter is between the stomach and duodenum.
- The
anal sphincter is just before the anus.

If you describe the diagram or tell me which parts are unlabeled, I can help you match the correct labels!
