Good day! In this week, you are expected to explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation, and excretion. (S8LT-Iva-13)
Learners are expected to:
1. Label the diagram of the digestive system; 2. Identify the function of the parts of digestive system; 3. Explain ingestion, absorption, assimilation and excretion.
In this lesson, health awareness is being integrated.
Your Teacher
The Human Digestive System
Activity 1 Instructions: Label the diagram of the human digestive system. (10points)
ANUS APPENDIX LARGE INTESTINE PANCREAS LIVER
TONGUE MOUTH ESOPHAGUS STOMACH SMALL INTESTINE
The Diagram of the Human Digestive System
1 8 Activity 2 Instructions: Match the column A with column B. Write only the letter of the correct answer. (10points)
COLUMN A COLUMN B _____1. Mouth A. Functions as digestive organ by facilitating the movement of food during mastication (chewing) and assisting swallowing. _____2. Stomach B. Use for eating and speaking, also helps us to bite, chew and swallow. _____3. Small intestine C. It is a hollow muscular tube that’s transport saliva, liquids, and foods from the mouth to the stomach. _____4. Tongue D. Functions mainly to partially digest food by grinding and mixing it with gastric secretions. _____5. Esophagus E. It carries out most of the digestive process, absorbing almost all the nutrients you get from the foods into your blood streams.

Explain: INGESTION, ABSORPTION, ASSIMILATION AND EXCRETION
What is Digestive System? The Digestive System ingest and digest food, absorbs, released nutrients, and excretes food components that are indigestible. (Wikipedia) What is Digestion? Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorb into the watery plasma. In certain organism, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood system. (Wikipedia) What is Ingestion? Ingestion is the taking in of food, food is taken into the mouth where it is physically broken down by the teeth into smaller pieces. The presence of food in the mouth triggers the nervous reflex that causes the salivary glands to deliver a watery fluid called saliva to the mouth.
2 It is consuming something orally, whether it be food, drink, medicine, or other substance. The first step of digestion: Bolus: a round mass of something, especially of chewed food in the mouth or alimentary canal. Mastication: the process of chewing. What is Absorption? Digested food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine. This means that they are pass through the wall of small intestine and into our bloodstream. Once there, the digested food molecules are carried around the body to where they are needed. What is Assimilation? Assimilation is the process of transport and use of absorbed nutrients. Is the process where nutrients are taken from the blood and into the cells. What is Excretion? It is a process in which metabolic waste is eliminated from an organism. In vertebrates this is primarily carried out by the lungs, kidneys and skin. This is in contrast with secretion, where the substance may have specific tasks after leaving the cell. The importance of excretion lies in the fact that it regulates a systematic working of all the body organs and keep us healthy. For steady bowels, it is important to eat healthy and regularly exercise daily and drink lots of water.
Activity 4 Instructions: Match Column A with Column B. Write the
letter of the correct answer before the number. (10points) Column A Column B _____1. Assimilation A. Food is taken into the mouth where it is physically broken down by the teeth into smaller pieces. _____2. Excretion B. The breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules. _____3. Digestion C. Digested food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine. _____4. Ingestion D. It is a process in which metabolic waste is eliminated from an organism.
3 _____5. Absorption E. The process of transport and used of absorbed nutrients. Instructions: Select only the letter of the correct answer. Activity 5.1 Write your answer on the space provided before the number. (10points)
