What are the three tissues found in the stomach?
The epithelial tissue, the glandular tissue and the muscular tissue
8 of 21
How does the glandular tissue help the stomach?
It produces digestive juices that break down the stomachs content.
9 of 21
How does the epithelial tissue aid the stomach?
It lines it.
10 of 21
How does the muscular tissue aid the stomach?
It moves the contents of the stomach during digestion
11 of 21
Which organs are in the digestive system?
Small intestine, large intestine, stomach, glands and liver
12 of 21
What does the small intestine do?
Digests food and absorb soluble food molecules
13 of 21
What does the stomach do?
Digest food
14 of 21
What does the large intestine do?
It absorbs water molecules from the remaining undigested food. This allows it to produce faeces.

What do glands do?
Produce digestive juices

What does the liver do?
Produce bile
