8. The pancreas plays a vital role in digestion by producing digestive enzymes and releasing them into the small intestine.

9. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver, which is essential for the digestion and absorption of fats.

Activity 3:

1. Liver: Produces bile to aid in fat digestion and detoxifies chemicals in the blood.

2. Stomach: Breaks down food into chyme with the help of digestive acids and enzymes.

3. Pancreas: Produces digestive enzymes and hormones to aid in the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

4. Small intestine: Absorbs most of the nutrients from digested food and facilitates further digestion.

5. Gallbladder: Stores and releases bile produced by the liver to aid in the digestion of fats.

6. Salivary glands: Produce saliva, which contains enzymes that initiate the digestion of carbohydrates.

7. Esophagus: Passes food from the mouth to the stomach through peristaltic contractions.

8. Large intestine: Absorbs water, electrolytes, and some vitamins, and stores and eliminates feces.

9. Rectum: Stores fecal matter before it is eliminated through the anus.

10. Duodenum: The first part of the small intestine where most chemical digestion occurs.
