1. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
 The digestive system is a system in which food is broken down into
smaller pieces so your body can absorb the nutrients and gain energy.
 The main parts of the digestive system are;

1. The Mouth – This is where the process of digestion begins. When


we eat food the teeth break down the food into smaller pieces
by chewing.

2. The Tongue – Since the tongue contains saliva, it helps soften the
food and pushes the bolus – a ball of food – down the throat to
the ‘oesophagus.’

3. The Oesophagus – Known as the food pipe, it transports boluses


down to the stomach.

4. The Stomach – In the stomach, the food mixes with hydrochloric


acid and other digestive juices. This takes about 3-4 hours.
5. Small Intestines – The work of the small intestines is to absorb
the energy and nutrients from the food into our blood stream.

6. Large Intestines – The large intestines absorb the water from the
leftover food and turn it into solid waste.

7. The Rectum – This is where waste is stored before leaving the


body.

8. The Anus – This is the opening where waste leaves the body.

2. CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
 The Circulatory System – The blood pumping system.
