Label Structures of the Digestive System - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to label the digestive system correctly.

We’ll start from the top and move down, matching each part with its name from the word bank.

1. The tube that goes from your mouth down to your stomach — that’s the esophagus.
2. The big brown organ on the right side (left in the diagram) — that’s the liver.
3. The small green sac under the liver — that’s the gallbladder.
4. The J-shaped bag where food gets mixed — that’s the stomach.
5. The long skinny organ behind the stomach — that’s the pancreas.
6. The first part of the small intestine, right after the stomach — that’s the duodenum.
7. The middle part of the small intestine — that’s the jejunum.
8. The last part of the small intestine — that’s the ileum.
9. The pouch at the beginning of the large intestine — that’s the cecum.
10. The little tail hanging off the cecum — that’s the appendix.
11. The part going up the right side — that’s the ascending colon.
12. The part going across the top — that’s the transverse colon.
13. The part going down the left side — that’s the descending colon.
14. The S-shaped part before the end — that’s the sigmoid colon? Wait — it’s not in the word bank. But looking again… actually, the next one is the rectum, which is the straight part before the exit.
15. The very end opening — that’s the anus.

Wait — let’s double-check the word bank:
Liver, esophagus, ascending colon, duodenum, rectum, pancreas, appendix, transverse colon, jejunum, stomach, gallbladder, cecum, descending colon, ileum, anus.

So we have 15 blanks? Let’s count the boxes in the image:

Top row: 1 box → esophagus
Then below that: 3 boxes on left → liver, gallbladder, pancreas? No — wait, better to follow anatomical order.

Actually, let’s list them in order as they appear in the diagram from top to bottom, left to right:

Left column (top to bottom):
- Esophagus (top tube)
- Liver (big brown organ)
- Gallbladder (small green under liver)
- Pancreas (behind stomach, yellowish)
- Duodenum (first loop after stomach)
- Jejunum (middle small intestine)
- Ileum (last small intestine)
- Cecum (pouch at start of large intestine)
- Appendix (tiny tail off cecum)
- Ascending colon (up right side)
- Transverse colon (across top)
- Descending colon (down left side)
- Rectum (bottom straight part)
- Anus (very end)

Wait — that’s 14. But there are 15 boxes? Let me recount the image description.

Actually, looking at standard diagrams:

The 15 labels usually include:

1. Esophagus
2. Liver
3. Gallbladder
4. Stomach
5. Pancreas
6. Duodenum
7. Jejunum
8. Ileum
9. Cecum
10. Appendix
11. Ascending colon
12. Transverse colon
13. Descending colon
14. Rectum
15. Anus

Yes — that’s 15. And “stomach” was missing in my earlier list — I forgot to assign it!

So let’s map them properly based on typical worksheet layout:

Assuming the diagram has:

Top center: esophagus → points to throat tube
Right upper: liver → big organ
Below liver: gallbladder → small green
Center: stomach → J-shape
Behind stomach: pancreas → long flat organ
After stomach: duodenum → C-shape around pancreas
Then coiled: jejunum → middle coils
Then more coils: ileum → lower coils
Then pouch: cecum → start of large intestine
Tiny bit: appendix → off cecum
Up right: ascending colon
Across: transverse colon
Down left: descending colon
Bottom: rectum
End: anus

Now match to word bank — all terms are there.

Final labeling order (assuming standard worksheet layout with arrows pointing to structures):

From top to bottom, left to right as typically arranged:

Left column (vertical):
1. Esophagus
2. Liver
3. Gallbladder
4. Pancreas
5. Duodenum
6. Jejunum
7. Ileum
8. Cecum
9. Appendix
10. Ascending colon
11. Transverse colon
12. Descending colon
13. Rectum
14. Anus

Wait — that’s 14. Where’s the 15th? Oh — stomach! It should be in the center.

Probably the diagram has:

- Top: esophagus
- Right top: liver
- Below liver: gallbladder
- Center: stomach
- Behind stomach: pancreas
- After stomach: duodenum
- Then jejunum, ileum
- Then cecum, appendix
- Then ascending, transverse, descending colon
- Then rectum, anus

That’s 15.

So let’s assign numbers as per common worksheet:

Imagine the diagram has these labeled positions:

A. Top tube → esophagus
B. Big organ top right → liver
C. Small green under B → gallbladder
D. J-shape center → stomach
E. Behind D → pancreas
F. First curve after D → duodenum
G. Middle coils → jejunum
H. Lower coils → ileum
I. Pouch after H → cecum
J. Tiny tag off I → appendix
K. Upward tube from I → ascending colon
L. Across top → transverse colon
M. Downward tube → descending colon
N. Bottom straight → rectum
O. Very end → anus

All 15 accounted for.

Now, since the user didn’t specify arrow positions, but this is a standard diagram, we can assume the most logical assignment.

But to be precise — let’s think like a student filling out the worksheet.

Typically, the blanks are placed near the structures.

Since we must provide the answer, and the word bank is given, we’ll list the correct term for each structure in anatomical order.

Final Answer:

Esophagus
Liver
Gallbladder
Stomach
Pancreas
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Cecum
Appendix
Ascending colon
Transverse colon
Descending colon
Rectum
Anus

But wait — the worksheet might have the blanks in a different order. However, without seeing exact arrow positions, we go by standard teaching diagrams.

Alternatively, perhaps the left column has 8 boxes, right column has 7? Or vice versa.

Looking back at the original problem description: “Label the structures” with lines pointing.

Since we can’t see the image, but based on standard biology worksheets, here is the most accurate labeling:

Starting from the top:

1. Esophagus
2. Liver
3. Gallbladder
4. Stomach
5. Pancreas
6. Duodenum
7. Jejunum
8. Ileum
9. Cecum
10. Appendix
11. Ascending colon
12. Transverse colon
13. Descending colon
14. Rectum
15. Anus

This matches the word bank exactly.

So the final answer is the list above in that order.

But to present it clearly for the student, we should write it as:

The correct labels for the digestive system diagram, from top to bottom, are:

- Esophagus
- Liver
- Gallbladder
- Stomach
- Pancreas
- Duodenum
- Jejunum
- Ileum
- Cecum
- Appendix
- Ascending colon
- Transverse colon
- Descending colon
- Rectum
- Anus

This covers all 15 parts using only words from the provided word bank.

Final Answer:
Esophagus, Liver, Gallbladder, Stomach, Pancreas, Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum, Cecum, Appendix, Ascending colon, Transverse colon, Descending colon, Rectum, Anus
