What to Focus On

  • Digestion starts in the mouth.
  • Teeth chew food, and saliva softens it.
  • The food pipe carries food to the stomach.
  • Liver produces bile to digest fats.
  • Bile is stored in the gall bladder.
  • Pancreas produces enzymes for digestion.
  • Kidneys filter blood and make urine.
  • Ureters carry urine to the bladder.
  • Bladder stores urine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The stomach is the main organ where nutrients are absorbed into the body.
