Labelling the human digestive system

The human digestive system is responsible for the processes of ingestion and digestion, absorption of digestion products and the elimination of undigested materials. The system itself is essentially a long muscular tube assisted by glands and organs.

In this activity, students use online and/or paper resources to identify and label parts of the human digestive system.

By the end of this activity, students should be able to:

• identify and label some of the main structures in the digestive system

• understand the function of the main structures in the digestive system

• use literacy skills to learn about and discuss the functions of the structures.
