Solve clues about the digestive system.

by Lexington Clinic
1

I am a tunnel passage between the mouth and the stomach after you swallow. What am I?

Hints

Food and dinks travel through me but never stay long

I'm a muscular tube that squeezes in waves to move things along

I connect to the back of the throat to the stomach

2

I am the glands that are the first response as food enters the mouth. If I were a firefighter I would be the first on the scene to put out the fire. What am I?

Hints

I help start digestion before food even reaches the stomach.

I produce something that keeps your mouth moist and helps you swallow

I activate as soon as you think about or smell delicious food.

3

I am the muscle action that aids in digestion. I have a long, important name and I am like an ocean wave traveling through your muscle. What am I?

Hints

I move food along by squeezing muscles in a wasve-like pattern

You can find me working in the esophagus, stomach and intestines.

Without me, food would never reach the places it needs to go for digestion.

4

I am in foods such as meats, eggs, and beans. I am digested by enzymes and then used to build and repair body tissues. What am I?

Hints

I’m made of amino acids and help your body grow stronger.

Your muscles, skin, and organs all rely on me for repair.

I’m found in many foods—both from animals and plants.

5

I am the most exciting place to be in the entire digestive system. This is where almost all nutrients are absorbed. What am I?

Hints

I’m the longest section of the digestive tract—about 20 feet long!

Tiny finger‑like structures called villi help me absorb nutrients.

Most digestion has already happened by the time food reaches me—my job is to absorb almost everything your body needs.

6

I am the largest organ inside your body and I protect you from harmful substances and waste as you digest food. What am I?

Hints

I filter toxins from the blood to keep the body safe.

I produce bile, which helps break down fats during digestion.

I’m the largest internal organ and play a major role in metabolism and detoxification.

7

I prevent food from going the wrong way when you swallow. You might say that I continually save your life as you eat. What am I?

Hints

I’m a small flap made of cartilage located at the top of the larynx.

I automatically close when you swallow to keep food out of your airway.

Without me, eating and breathing at the same time would be very dangerous!

8

I have a gross job, but someone has to do it. I store solid waste (stool) until you are ready to go to the bathroom. YUCK! What am I?

Hints

I’m the final stop before waste leaves the body.

I stretch as I fill, sending a message to the brain when it’s time to “go.”

I’m part of the large intestine, but I have a very specific job.

9

I am a very important system in your body. Without me, you could not get the nutrients you need to grow properly and stay healthy. What am I?

Hints

I break down food so your body can absorb nutrients for energy, growth, and repair.

I include many organs working together—like the stomach, intestines, and liver.

Without me, your body wouldn’t get the fuel it needs to stay healthy.
