Unit 10: digestive system
In this unit we will trace the flow of food throughout the digestive system, beginning with simple sugar breakdown in the mouth and concluding with the passage of solid waste through the rectum. anatomy of the digestive system will be studied, and we will end the unit with a brief overview of digestive pathology.
