EXERCISE 59 



Problem. What digestive processes take place in the human body ? 



A study of the different nutrients and of the digestive system in man should leave us clear as to 

 what happens normally to every part of our food after it is eaten. Make a diagram at least five inches 

 long, showing all the important organs of the digestive system. On the left side of the diagram make 

 a list of the organs and draw lines to indicate the corresponding parts of your diagram. On the right- 

 hand side make a list of the food substances that are digested in each of the organs shown, and connect 

 with a line to the corresponding part of the diagram.
