The Digestive System



Yesterday, we learned about the digestive system from Mr. Tavener. To review what we learned from him, let's complete the following activities.

1.) Click this link and read the short article on the digestive system. After you have finished reading, take the short quiz at the end of the article. After you have taken the quiz, click the "Correct My Answers" button to test your knowledge.

2.) Click this link and first drag the organs to the correct place on the human body. After you have done this, click on the "Inside Story" button to learn more about each organ. Then click on the "Food Path" button and feed the person a couple of items, following them down the digestive path.

3.) For a fun activity, imagine a piece of raw, salted, fat pork being dangled into St. Martin's stomach. Write a brief description of what happens from the perspective of the piece of salted, fat, pork. Make sure to use the information and vocabulary from Mr. Tavener's discussion and your readings. Feel free to be creative and funny. Use dialog and descriptive language.

You can write your story in Word, but when you are finished, post it as a comment on this blog by clicking the "Comment" link below.

Digestion of the pork:
A piece of raw,ralted,fat pork was suspended on silk cord,then Dr.Beaumont put the pork in St.Matin's stomach hole.The stomach stirs up the pork and gastric juice help digest the pork.
So stomach dissolved the pork-change the pork to protein,fat,oil-the oil,protein goes into small intestine-the pork became some very small pieces called nutrient and absorbed in the blood-the blood goes to liver to clean up -something chould't be digested in the small intestine,they goes in to large intestine then pop them out-the waste liquid goes through kidney-useless dejection goes in to a bladder-finally pop the dejection out through urethra.

A piece of pork:
first I would be put inside of the stomach hole.i will etay there for 2-5 hours and after that taken out to help Dr.Beaumont to continue hie experiment.Inside of the stomach the gastric juice would help and digest me(actually the pork) and make a lot of proteins sending them in small intestine.The rest of the pork that can't be digested will go out through uretha.

Digestion of the pork:
A piece of raw and fat pork is mixed with the gastric juice and dissolve the pork to protein. Then they goes to the small intestine and become very small pieces of pork. If the fats are in the pork, some of fats and oils are going to go to the liver.

Someone put me inside the stomach. I was mixed with gastric juice which helped me to digest easily. I was dissolved to protein and oil. Small hole in the stomach was opened and went down to small intestine. Small intestine broke dowm my body and villus absorbed my nutrients. Now I'm in large intesine.

I am the pork =)
The cook sliced me into peices.
I was eaten by someone. He/she chewed with his/her teeth. Saliva came out and took my protein. I went down to stomach by asophogus. It was disgusting... Gastric juice divided me into oil, fat and other nutrients. One small hole opened up and I went down to small intestant. This broke me down to many parts. and then I went to big instent which moved me around and made me dizzy. I got mixed with other food what he/she had eaten and came out from his/her urethra.

I am made of the oil, protein and fat. I entered to St. Martin’s hole of abandon. I went to his small intestine and his body took my nutrients. Probably he does not need me any more, so I will go to the large intestine.
