This is the starting point of the Digestive System (MOUTH) This organ produces enzymes for use in digestion (PANCREAS) This is a small molecule and it is formed from the breakdown of starch (SUGAR) This is the part of the digestive system where water is absorbed (LARGE INTESTINE) This part of the digestive system churns up food and mixes it with acid and digestive juices (STOMACH) This is produced in the liver and helps us to break down fats (BILE) This describes the temperature or pH at which an enzyme works best (OPTIMUM) This disease is caused by eating too much and not exercising enough (OBESITY) This food contains a lot of protein (MEAT) This is one of the small sub-units that make up fats (GLYCEROL) This is the enzyme that breaks down starch (AMYLASE) This food group keeps your food moving along your digestive system (FIBRE) These are needed in small amounts to keep your body healthy (VITAMINS AND MINERALS) This is where faeces are stored before they expelled from the body (RECTUM) This is produced in the stomach to kill bacteria ad help break down proteins (ACID)

These are found in your mouth and are used to break your food down into smaller pieces (TEETH) This enzyme breaks down proteins (PROTEASE)

This is the process of breaking down your food and absorbing it into your body (DIGESTION) This food would contain a lot of carbohydrate (PASTA) This is the enzyme that breaks down fat (LIPASE) This is produced in glands and acts in the mouth to digest starch (SALIVA) This food group gives you a lot of energy and keeps you warm (FATS) This is needed in your diet to help you grow and repair your cells (PROTEIN) This is the end point of the digestive system where faeces are expelled (ANUS) These are produced in the pancreas and help to break your food down into smaller pieces (ENZYMES) This is used to move food around your mouth and push your food onto your teeth (TONGUE) This process mixes the food in your stomach with gastric juices (CHURNING) This is the process where nutrients are passed into the blood from the small intestine (ABSORPTION) These contain a lot of Vitamin C (ORANGES) This would contain a lot of fibre (WHOLEMEAL BREAD)

This is the part of the digestive system where most nutrients are absorbed into the blood (SMALL INTESTINE) Things like potatoes and white bread contain a lot of this food group (CARBOHYDRATES) You need at least 2 litres of this every day to keep you healthy (WATER) This connects your mouth and your stomach (OESOPHAGUS) This organ produces bile (LIVER) This is the movement of muscles as it pushes food through your digestive system (PERISTALSIS) This is found in foods like rice and cereal and will turn iodine a blue/black colour (STARCH) This food would contain a lot of fat (BUTTER) This is the small sub-unit that makes up proteins (AMINO ACID) This is found in dairy products and is needed for healthy bones (CALCIUM)
