digestive system.
Organs of the Digestive System and their Functions
• The body takes energy from the food taken and digested.
• Digestion of food is carried out by the organs and substances of the
digestive system. During digestion, food is broken down into smaller
parts, a fraction of which is made up of nutrients.
• The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract also
called the GI tract or digestive tract. The GI tract is a series of
hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the
anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI are the mouth,
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the
digestive system.
• Humans and almost all animals have a digestive system in which
food enters the mouth, which moved through a long tube, and exits
the anus as feces. The food is broken down into soluble molecules
and is moved rhythmically by the smooth muscle in the walls of the
digestive system.
• The digestive process is a system and if one part of the system is
not working properly food will not be properly digested.

Motivational Question: What particular annual celebration do we
conduct during the month of July?
Teacher says: Yesterday, July 6 was the kick-off for this year’s 2023 Nutrition Month Celebration
Nutrition Month Celebration with the theme, Poster
“Healthy Diet Gawing Affordable for All!” This year's
nutrition month campaign calls for unity and
strengthened food and nutrition security policies
and programs that will enable us Filipinos to have
greater access to healthy, safe, and affordable food.
Teacher asks: Speaking of health and nutrition, did you eat
breakfast before coming to school today?
Have you ever wondered what happened to the food
you ate?
Motive Question: What do you think is the organ system involved in
the digestion of your food?
ELICIT
(Spring-Board Activity) Reading Time
Teacher asks: What are healthy foods?
Teacher tells: I have here a short article titled “What are healthy
foods?”. Listen carefully as I read it to you. Then, later on, I will give
you time to read it yourself.
(Learners read the article after the first reading from the teacher.)
Teacher asks: What is the article about?
Based on the article, what are healthy foods?
How do healthy foods help our bodies?
Why do we need to eat fruits and vegetables?
What do you think happens to the food you eat?
ENGAGE
(Scaffolding- Get the learners’ minds focused on the topic)
Teacher shows the Human Torso Model containing the organs of the
digestive system. Then, the teacher shows pictures of the different
parts and organs of the body and lets the learners identify and name
each of the body parts and human organs.

ACTIVITY: CRACKER IN THE MOUTH
Teacher gives each learner a piece of bread pan/ breadstick/ cracker Bread pan/ breadstick/ cracker/
and tells them to take a bite. Ask them not to chew the cracker; just biscuit
hold it in their mouth for 10 seconds. Then, chew later if it’s difficult
to swallow still.
10 seconds Timer
Ask the following questions:
1. What happened to the cracker when it’s inside your mouth?
2. What does it feel like initially? What did you taste?
3. What does it feel after 10 seconds in your mouth?
4. Why did it start to get softer? What it feels like when you chew it?
5. Have you experienced difficulty in swallowing your food without
chewing it properly?
6. Why do you think Digestive System is important?
Teacher says: All the systems in the body need energy to work. It is
important that the body gets all the nutrients it needs to
function well. They get this energy from food. However, the
body cannot use food in the form in which it enters the body.
So, it has to be broken down and changed into liquid form.
This is in the process of digestion. The organs of the
digestive system work together to accomplish this process.

EXPLAIN
(Discussing new concepts-Modelling)
Discuss the different organs of the digestive system and how these
organs help in the digestion of food using the Human Torso Model.
Teacher says: The digestive system is a continuous pathway. It is
the system of organs responsible for getting food into and out
of the body and for making use of food to keep the body
healthy. It is divided into two parts: the organ of the
alimentary tract that comes in contact with the food and the
accessory organ that pour out secretion to assess the
digestive system.
Teacher says: Let us take a journey throughout the human digestive
system to see how it works and how the organs coordinate
in order to carry out the processes of digestion. The mouth,
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum
and anus from the pathway are called the digestive tract.
Teacher says: Digestion of food begins in the mouth as the teeth
grind up and turns food into small pieces with the help of the
saliva. Our activity in eating the cracker shows how the saliva
in our mouth lubricates and softens the food we ate. The
mouth contains the teeth which break down the food into
smaller pieces. The tongue is a muscular organ that mixes
food with saliva and aids in swallowing food. The duct of the
salivary glands secretes saliva that lubricate the food and
the palate that forms the roofing of the mouth.
The Esophagus receives food from the mouth and carries
food into the stomach. Epiglottis is a small flap that folds
over our windpipe as we swallow to prevent us from choking.
During swallowing, the bolus is conveyed by the esophagus
into the stomach via wavelike contraction and relaxation of
involuntary muscle which is called peristalsis.
Bolus is a small rounded mass of chewed food at the
moment of swallowing.
The stomach is a muscular sac that actually churns,
mashes, mixes food, and adds special chemicals, or gastric
juices to the bolus. The stomach is a pear-shaped organ that
is about 30.5 cm long and 15.2 wide, the bolus that enters
the stomach will convert to semi-fluid partially digested food
called Chyme. The Chyme enters the small intestines.
Small intestine is considered as the organ of complete
digestion and absorption, it is considered as the longest
organ of the digestive system. Food does not pass through
the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. They are accessory
organs of the digestive system. The small intestine signals
the pancreas to produce pancreatic juice, and the gall
bladder to release bile. Pancreatic juices aid in the
digestion of protein and carbohydrates and the bile is
responsible to break down fats.
Liver produces bile, breaks down fat, and removes toxins.
Gall bladder stores the bile that the liver produces.
Pancreas produces enzymes that help break down foods.
The small intestines digest and absorb proteins, fats and
carbohydrates. While the large intestines absorb salt and
water from food. It stores the fecal materials, absorbs the

vitamins, and reabsorbs the water from the undigested
residue. Large intestine connects the small intestines to the
rectum. Stool or waste left over from the digestive process is
passed through the colon by means of peristalsis.
The stool or undigested residue or the feces will be stored in
the Rectum and then excrete to the Anus.
Teacher asks: In summary, what are the organs that composed the
digestive tract?

Trivia: BORBORYGMUS is the rumbling sound in the stomach. BORBORYGMUS on the screen
When you hear your stomach rumbling, it is a signal from
your brain that the stomach has begun digestion.
Teacher says: The journey of the food starts from the mouth down
to the anus and takes about 18-20 hours.
ELABORATE
(Guided Practice)
Teacher says: Let us watch the short video clip from YouTube to
further visualize the digestive system from a different
perspective.
