| Lesson | The rule |
|---|---|
| Three steps | Digestion breaks food into simple forms. Absorption moves them into the blood. Egestion removes what is left. |
| The path | Food takes one path. It goes mouth, food pipe, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus. |
| Saliva and starch | Saliva breaks starch into sugar. Iodine turns blue-black when starch is there. |
| Cow and hen | A cow chews its food again. This is rumination. A bird has no teeth. Its gizzard breaks up the food. |
| Respiration | Breathing moves air in and out. Respiration uses oxygen to release energy from food. |
| Breathing parts | Fish use gills. Earthworms use moist skin. Lizards use lungs. A frog uses more than one surface. |
| Blood | The heart pumps blood through blood vessels. Blood carries food and oxygen to every part and takes waste away. |
| Leaving | Carbon dioxide leaves with the breath. Undigested food leaves through the anus. Only the second is egestion. |
| Air path | Air goes in through the nostrils and nasal passages. It passes down the windpipe and its branches to the alveoli. |
| Chest | To breathe in, the diaphragm moves down. The ribs move up and out. To breathe out, both move back. |
| Alveoli | Oxygen passes from the air into the blood. Carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the air. |
| Villi | Finger-like villi line the small intestine. They give a big surface for absorbing digested food. |
