How are the organs of the digestive system structured and how do they work together?

   Students in Teacher Harvey’s EP M4 Science class explored the anatomy of the digestive system through a hands-on dissection activity. Using a pork stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and chicken liver, students examined the structures and physical characteristics of different digestive organs. They also dissected a chicken heart as a comparison organ, identifying how it differs from the digestive organs and recognizing its role in the circulatory system rather than digestion. Through direct observation and dissection, students developed a better understanding of the structures, functions, and organization of the digestive system while gaining practical experience in biological investigation.
