    What are we
    made up of?

    Do you know that


    we can be
    classified based
    on our structure
    and function?
    There are four
    types of teeth

    Incisors
    Canines
    Premolars and
    Molars
    INCISORS: (4)
    Incisors are
    chisel-shaped, with a
    sharp edge.

    They are used for biting


    off small pieces of food
    so that you can take the
    food into your mouth.
    CANINES: (2)
    Canines are more
    pointed than incisors.

    These are used in the


    same way as incisors
    and are useful for
    tearing food apart.
    PREMOLARS: (4)
    Premolars have broad
    surfaces with ridges on
    them.

    These are used for


    crushing and grinding
    food when you chew.
    MOLARS: (6)
    Molars are like
    premolars, but
    sometimes a bit bigger.

    These are also used for


    crushing and grinding
    food.

    TOOTH FACTS
    ● The enamel on the top surface of your tooth is the hardest part of your entire body.
    ● The human mouth contains more bacteria than there are people on Earth.
    ● Taste buds have a lifespan of about 10 days and take about 1 to 2 weeks to regenerate.
    ● The tooth is the only part of the body that can’t heal itself.
    ● You can only see 1/3 of your tooth. The other 2/3 is hidden under your gums.

    Tongue is a muscular organ in your mouth that aids in chewing, speaking and
    breathing.
    Gall bladder
    Gall bladder
    stores the bile
    juice secreted
    by the liver.

    It is a small, pear-shaped organ located under your liver that stores


    and releases bile.
    Bile is the fluid your liver produces that helps digest fats in the
    food you eat.
    It receives the bile juices and is
    the location of fat digestion.

    Increased surface area


    Good capillary blood supply
    Thin walls reduced diffusion distance for
    nutrients to move across the wall.
    Gluten intolerance
    WATER ABSORPTION IS ONLY IN LIMITED QUANTITY
    ANUS
    The anus is the last part of the digestive tract.

    It’s at the end of the rectum.

    It's where stool comes out of the body.

    It consists of a muscular ring that opens during a bowel movement to allow stool
    (faeces) to pass through

    Nerves and muscles surrounding your anus coordinate to tell one when one
    needs to expel waste, while allowing you to hold it in until you’re able to reach a
    toilet. When you’re ready, these nerves and muscles coordinate again to push
    stool out of your body.

    The mucus lining in your anus secretes mucus to wet the passage and help
    faeces pass smoothly through.
