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.

The liver digests food directly in the stomach.

All waste from the body is removed by the kidneys.
