PUZZLE

Thank you. Tr. Warren. Okay class. Don’t return to

your seats just yet. Let’s do another activity. Here
are 5 envelopes. (5 Students approaches in front)

Choose one representative of your group and

proceed in front.
(Students return to their groups with own envelopes)

Choose one envelope. Then proceed to your

respective groups. (Student discussion)

Now, open your envelopes and identify the

specific image and discuss its function in
3minutes. They are parts of the digestive system.

Okay, time is up! What have you noticed with

the pictures?

Yes. You have learned the following parts in your

previous year. Now will

food thereby bringing energy for the body. So
now, One representative per group will discuss
their collaboration in front. Who among you have The mouth offers an entry of food into the body. It is
the mouth image? also where the mechanical breakdown begins.

Okay! Be the first to discuss your work.

Good job! Yes!

The mouth breaks down food into bits to facilitate

transfer thru the esophagus to the stomach. This is a
process called mastication. It also serves as the initial
stage of digestion with the enzyme converting
carbohydrates. What is that enzyme? Salivary amylase!

And now let’s follow the food as it passes through

the digestive system. From the mouth, food passes
through the? What connects the mouth and Esophagus!

The esophagus transact food from the mouth to the

That’s correct! So what do we call that rhythmic Peristalsis!

movement?
That’s right. So through peristalsis, the food, or now The cardiac sphincter!
called chyme, goes through the cardiac sphincter, a
ring-shaped muscle where food enters from
esophagus to stomach that prevents food reflux. The
food then is transported to the stomach. So again,
what is that muscle that prevent reflux?
 Correct. Now, which group now hold the stomach?
Can you discuss it in front?
The stomach further forms the food into smaller
portions and contains HCl that aids digestion and
destroys the bacteria present in the ingested food. It
also has pepsin the breaks down protein into smaller
forms.

Yes that’s correct. Now, where does the food go after Small intestines!
passing the stomach?

Now who among you the small intestine picture?

The small intestine is where pancreatic juices aids in

Furthermore in the small intestine, bile acts on the
food. Bile is produced in the liver and stored in the
gallbladder. It break down fats into smaller droplets.

What organ produces bile? Liver!

How about the one that stores bile? Gallbladder!

That’s correct! Small intestines the remains of the

digestion and absorption are now enters the large
intestine who happens to be in the last group.

Yes, that true. You may now return to your seat. The
large intestine is composed by the ascending,
transverse and descending colon, the appendix, anus The large intestine is composed by the ascending,
and rectum. It is also where absorption of water transverse and descending colon, the anus and

So in summary, the digestive system is composed

of?
The mouth, esophagus, stomach, large and small
intestines!

All are which function to do what?

They are responsible for breakdown and absorption of

nutrients from food thereby bringing energy for the
