Presentation

Now class, the topic that we are

going to tackle today is all about the
digestive system.
As we continue the discussion, I have
here a short video clip regarding the
digestive system.
View and take down important facts
and information for I will ask questions later.
Yes, Ma’am!
Class, based from the video clip how
does digestion begins?
It starts from the mouth Ma’am.
Very good! That is the first stage
which undergone the process of ingestion.

What is the next organ that the food

pass through?
Ma’am, the esophagus.
Exactly! You’re correct! Then how
does esophagus work?
Ma’am, esophagus works as a
passage way of food in order to reach the
stomach.
Excellent answer! After esophagus is
now the … what’s the next?
Stomach Ma’am!
You’re right! What’s the role of the
stomach in the system?
The stomach where it mixes with
juices and acids and where digestion takes
place.
Very good! Digestion is the second
stage/process involved in food processing.

What is the next organ?

Small intestine Ma’am!
That’s correct, how does small
intestine work?
Ma’am, it is where the absorption of
nutrients will take place to be used by the
cell.
Very good answer! Absorption is the
third stage/process in the digestion of foods.

What is the next organ involved in

the digestive system after small intestines?
Large intestine Ma’am!
How is the role of this organ in the
digestion?
The large intestine is used to
absorbed water from the waste material
leftover.
Very good!

After that what’s next? All leftover waste material

compacted and stored at the end of the large
intestine called the rectum before they are
excreted out of the body through the anus.
Excellent! That is now the last stage
in the digestion, the process involved is
elimination.

There are also attached some

accessory organs that help to maximize
digestions of foods. What are they?
Ma’am these are the liver, gall
bladder and pancreas.
Ok! In what ways these organs help
in the digestion?
Liver helps in the production of bile
which helps in the excretion of excess
 cholesterol.

Gall bladder stores bile until it is

needed in the small intestines.

Pancreas secretes insulin and

glucagon, for the digestion of starch, fats and
proteins.
Very good!

Do you now understand how

digestion take place and how the different
organs of the digestive system work together
to digest foods and use by the body.
Yes Ma’am!
Any questions? Additional or
supplement?
None Ma’am!

Then, may I ask the class if how

much you have understood the topic.

What are the different organs of the

digestive system? How these organs work in
the digestion of foods?
Students responded with varied
answers.

Application

In 5 minutes they will LABEL THE PARTS Students well answer their work sheet. .
OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Label each box with its appropriate
description from the data provided on the
right corner.
 Generalization

Watch and listen to the Digestion

system song.

Now that you have learned and

understood how the digestive system works,
how and what practice you will do in order
to maintain healthy body?
Students raised varied answers.
