What to Focus On

  • Nutrients are substances in food that help the body function.
  • Carbohydrates provide energy.
  • Proteins help in growth and repair.
  • The alimentary canal is the path food takes through the body.
  • Digestive glands produce juices that break down food.
  • The liver produces bile, and the pancreas produces pancreatic juice.
  • Teeth help in chewing food.
  • There are four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
  • Saliva contains amylase which digests starch.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The stomach is the main organ for digestion and absorbs most nutrients.

Bile is an enzyme that digests fats.

All digestion happens in the mouth because saliva starts breaking down food.

Memory Tips
