This document contains an assessment from an 8th grade science class on the human digestive system. It includes a labeled diagram of the digestive system and questions requiring students to identify the parts of the alimentary canal, organs that food does not pass through, and functions of the mouth, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. It also includes a matching activity to link parts of the digestive system with organ names and functions.

Direction:
PART AB - Match column A (parts of the digestive system) with column B (name of the
organs).
PART AC - Match column A (parts of the digestive system) with column C (function of the
organs).
Column B [Name of the
Organs]
Column C [Function of the Organs]
A. Small intestine
B. Pancreas
C. Mouth
D. Liver
E. Esophagus
F. Stomach
G. Large intestine
A. It is site where Hydrochloric acid kills micro-organisms in the
food. Stomach juices begin to break down protein to amino
acids.
B. It contains teeth to chew food into smaller pieces and saliva
which starts to break down starch to sugar.
C. It is the site where juices from the pancreas finish breaking
down starch, protein and fat to small molecules that is then
absorbed into the walls of the intestine.
D. Food just passes through here without changing.
E. It produces bile where it helps the small intestine digest fats.
F. All the food that could not be digested and absorbed passes
through here. The undigested food collects up and forms feces.
G. It makes pancreatic juice where it helps digest protein, starch,
and fat.
