7. is it mechanical or chemical digestion that occurs when enzymes mix with food to help break it down? chemical
8. which organ produces and secretes bile into the small intestine? liver
9. the large intestine is actually longer than the small intestine: true or false? false
10. blood circulating around the small intestine, and picking up nutrients to bring back to the is an example of what two systems working together? digestive and circulatory systems
11. the digestive system works with the excretory system to do what? remove solid waste
12. which 2 systems are working together to bring oxygen that assists in breaking down food? digestive and respiratory systems
13. is moved along the digestive track by tissue from the muscular system.
14. the stomach serves as a holding tank for your food while the body finishes breaking it down.

26. these small tubes drain the kidney and empty the bladder. ureters
27. bladder acts as a holding tank storing urine in the body before it is released.
28. which system works with the excretory system to remove waste gases? respiratory
29. the system helps the excretory system remove water & salts through skin. integumentary

Explanation:

This study guide focuses on the digestive and excretory systems. It covers the path of food through the digestive system, identification of digestive organs, types of digestion (mechanical and chemical), functions of related organs (like the liver producing bile), and aspects of the excretory system (such as the role of kidneys, nephrons, and the removal of waste). It also touches on how different systems (e.g., digestive and circulatory, digestive and respiratory) work together.
