Directions
1. This activity will be completed individually.
Select a question from the hat. You must answer the question in written
form. Then, using pictures from magazines, depict the anatomical structure
and function in pictorial form. Glue the pictures and your answer to the
poster board provided.
2. Once all of the groups have completed
the activity, post the poster in the hallway. Place your poster in the
anatomically correct position with regard to all of the other works. Dr.
Henry will depict either end of the digestive tract so that you know where
to begin and end.
3. Follow the path of food from the mouth
to the anus. Use the pictorial analysis to learn the anatomical structure
of the digestive system. If you do not understand the relationship
of the picture to the function, ask the person to explain it to you.
