Digestive System Match the term on the left with its correct description: A. Pancreas - Wrinkles in the mucosa of the stomach B. Cecum - Visible part of tooth C. Esophagus - First part of the small intestine D. Ascending colon - Stores bile E. Rectum - Empties into the cecum F. Common bile duct - Leads into the anal canal G. Gallbladder - Transports food to the stomach H. Liver - Produces saliva I. Pylorus - Makes bile J. Duodenal ampulla - Lower region of the stomach K. Rugae - First part of the large intestine L. Ileum - Fingerlike projections in the small intestine M. Duodenum - Last part of the colon N. Parotid gland - Gum O. Sigmoid colon - Cystic duct leads into this P. Vim - Wormlike appendage Q. Crown - Middle part of the small intestine R. Gingiva - Secretes insulin and digestive enzymes S. Vermiform appendix - Located between the cecum and transverse colon T. Jejunum - Formed by the merging of the common bile Match the sphincter on the left with its correct description: A. Lower esophageal sphincter - Composed of skeletal muscle B. Ileocecal sphincter - Allows food to enter the stomach C. Pyloric sphincter - Allows bile to enter the duodenum D. Hepatopancreatic sphincter - Located between the stomach and the duodenum E.

Matching Exercise Match the digestive structure to its proper function. 1) ___ Esophagus 2) ___ Stomach 3) ___ Small Intestine 4) ___ Large Intestine 5) ___ Gall Bladder 6) ___ Liver 7) ___ Pancreas 8) ___ Common Bile Duct 9) ___ Ileocecal junction 10) ___ Rectum 11) ___ Oral cavity 12) ___ Parotid gland 13) ___ Oropharynx 14) ___ Tongue 15) ___ Duodenum [A] Stores bile produced by the liver [B] Connects the oral cavity to the pharynx [C] Function is to conduct swallowed food from the pharynx above to the stomach below [D] Distal portion of the large intestine [E] Largest of the salivary glands, located superficial to the masseter muscle [F] Proximal portion of the small intestine [G] Muscle used to manipulate food in the oral cavity [H] Function is to ingest food. The mouth begins the process of digestion by secreting saliva and mechanically grinding food [I] Function is absorption of nutrients, as nearly all nutrients are absorbed using villi in this organ [J] Connection between the ileum of the small intestine and the ascending colon of the large intestine [K] Functions include the storage, some digestion, and release of food into the duodenum. [L] Endocrine function is glucose homeostasis; in digestion secretes trypsin, amylase, lipase & bicarbonate [M] Tube that is created as the hepatic and cystic ducts combine and transport bile to the duodenum [N] Function is to absorb water, produce flatus, and compact fecal material; storing the feces until it can be released [O] Largest gland of the body that performs a variety of metabolic functions including plasma protein synthesis

Match the following structures with the description and functions: mouth, liver, stomach, pancreas, small intestine, gallbladder, muscular wall of the small intestine, duodenum, pharynx. The liver is the largest internal organ which secretes bile, protects certain nutrients, and produces enzymes and an alkaline fluid that is secreted into the duodenum. The small intestine is a long tube where digestion of nutrients is completed and most of the nutrients are absorbed. Digestion of carbohydrates begins here. The stomach is where food enters and also churns, mixing food with acidic gastric juice. The gallbladder is a small sac which stores and concentrates bile. The duodenum is the final tubular region of the GI tract and absorbs water and salts. Match the following digestive enzymes with the substrates: salivary amylase, pepsin, lipase, pancreatic amylase, trypsin. Salivary amylase digests polysaccharides in the mouth. Pepsin digests proteins in the stomach. Lipase digests lipids in the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase digests polysaccharides in the small intestine. Trypsin digests proteins in the small intestine.
