| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| mouth function | to breakdown food into smaller pieces and nutrients the body can use. |
| esophagus function | peristalissis pushes food to the stomach |
| stomach function | makes bolus into a thick liquid that can be absorbed |
| small intestines function | absorb nutrients into the circulatory system through the villi |
| large intestines function | water absorbed in to the circulatory system waste removal |
| CRA functions | to store and eliminate waste |
| what is the function of the digestive system | to breakdown food into nutrients the body can use and eliminate solid waste |
| the order of the process of digestion | mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, CRA |
| where is food transferred to the body in the digestive system | small intestines through villi |
| what other body system structure is most like the villi | alveoli, because both villi and alveoli pass products to the circulatory system |

| what systems are needed to fuel the body | digestive and circulatory |
| how do we know chemical changes occur in our digestion | food changes from one molecular structure to another ( ex. carbohydrates to sugars ) |
| how does the integamentry system work with the nervous system | the skin is the sensory surface of the body. nerves are under the skin |
| what is needed for the respiratory system in space____________ and the removal of ______________________. | oxygen;carbon dioxide & other chemicals |
