Practice Test Question
The food that you eat travels from your mouth, down your esophagus, into
your stomach, and through your small and large intestines before your
body rids itself of solid waste. As the food passes through your body,
it is digested, and you get important nutrients from the food. Which of the
following is the correct term used to describe a group of body parts
working together to perform a specific function?
*Write the underlined part of the question and correct answer
Choice!
A. an organism
B. a tissue
C. an organ system
D. an organ
