It explains the biological journey of food from the mouth through the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, highlighting the roles of various organs in nutrient absorption and excretion. Additionally, the document covers the importance of dental hygiene, detailing the specific functions of incisors, canines, premolars, and molars in the digestive process. With clear definitions of key scientific vocabulary such as digestion, nutrients, and plaque, this guide serves as an essential learning material for understanding human biology, the necessity of energy from food, and proper maintenance of oral health to prevent decay and damage.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/year-4-science-animals-including-humans-the-digestive-system-and-teeth/411961/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/year-4-science-animals-including-humans-the-digestive-system-and-teeth/411961.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Mafia Boss","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What is the role of the small intestine in the digestive system?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The small intestine is responsible for absorbing essential nutrients from the food that has been broken down.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"Why are canines important for digestion?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"Canines are pointed teeth designed for tearing and ripping food, which is particularly useful when chewing meat.",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"How can individuals maintain good oral health?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"To maintain healthy teeth, it is recommended to brush twice a day with toothpaste to remove plaque, consume fewer sugary foods and drinks, and visit the dentist regularly for check-ups.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":125,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":127,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":129,"site_id":62},411961,1791439988,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":132},{"doc_id":129,"user_id":133,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":134,"doc_module":4,"category_id":34,"category_name":35,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":135,"file_id":136,"file_url":137,"file_type":138,"file_size":139,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":81,"preview_page_count":4},962090760730,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","Year 4 Science : Animals including humans. The digestive system and teeth  \nAutumn  \nThe digestive system  \nThe smell of food triggers saliva to be produced.  \nThe digestive system begins with the mouth and teeth where food is chewed.  \nSaliva is mixed with the food which helps to break it up.  \nWhen the food is small enough to be swallowed, it is pushed down the oesophagus by muscles to the stomach.  \nIn the stomach, food is mixed further.  \nThe mixed food is then sent to the small intestine which absorbs nutrients from the food.  \nAny leftover broken down food then moves on to the large intestine.  \nThe food minus the nutrients arrives in the rectum where muscles turn it into faeces. It is  \nHow to care for your teeth  \nBrush twice a day with toothpaste to remove plaque. Eat less sugary foods and drink as they damage your teeth. Go to the dentist regularly for check ups.  \nScientific Enquiry  \nKey Vocabulary  \n\n| Vocabulary | Definition |\n| --- | --- |\n| digestion | Breaking down food by the body so it can use it and turn it into energy. |\n| excretion | Process of getting rid of waste products in the body e.g. faeces, sweat. |\n| nutrients | Different substances found in food that carry our specific jobs in the body.
