FILL IN THE GAP You are about to go on an amazing journey through the digestive system… you have been miniaturized and given a wet suit, so hop on in! You enter the mouth and find a piece of bread. Watch out – the large, muscular ________________________ which helps mix the food contents with the saliva is about to hit you! You narrowly miss being struck down and walk toward the back of the oral cavity. You are falling downward, out of control, and you see two openings below you – the ____________________ and the _______________________. Just as you are trying to decide which path to take, the structure to your left moves quickly upward, and a flaplike piece of cartilage, the _______________________ , flaps over its opening. Down you go into the darkness of the other open passageway, seeing nothing. You find yourself being swept down a tube and carried along by a squeezing motion of the walls around you. The name given to this propelling motion is _____________________________________ . Then, a passage beneath you opens, and you fall into a large chamber with many muscular folds (this chamber is the _______________________________________ ). The environment makes your face burn – that’s because this organ is filled with _________________________________ .(continued on back) You slip out into safety, and into the next organ in the digestive tract, the ___________________________________________________ . Fat globules are moving around your feet. Suddenly, you observe a wave of fluid entering from a chamber high above you, and the fat globules start to break apart; thus, you assume this fluid must contain the substance ______________________________ . From here, it is your duty to make it back to safety… BUTT try not to harm yourself.
