Task C: Undigested food

1) Complete the sentences to describe what happens to undigested food.


Use words from the list.

rectum faeces peristalsis fibre nutrients large


intestine anus fat emulsifier

_Fibre_ bulks up food so that it can be moved through the digestive system by the process of
_peristalsis_.

It is not digested but forms _faeces_ which are passed out of the body via the _anus_.

It is stored in the _rectum_ until you are ready to defecate.

2) This meal contains nutrients, water and fibre.

Describe the journey of this meal through


the digestive system.

Your answer may have included:

● The organs of the digestive system, listed in order.


● The roles of the liver and pancreas in digestion.
● The role of peristalsis in moving food through the digestive system.
● Nutrients from the food are absorbed into the blood through the villi in the small intestine.
● Water from the food is absorbed into the blood through the wall of the large intestine.
● Fibre from the food is not absorbed and is passed out of the body as faeces.
