About this quiz
The alimentary canal runs from the mouth to the anus. The small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) does most of the digestion and absorption; the large intestine takes back water and stores what is left.
- The pyloric sphincter at the foot of the stomach opens into the duodenum, the shortest part of the small intestine.
- The ileocecal valve controls the flow from the ileum into the cecum, the first part of the large intestine.
- The liver, gallbladder and pancreas help digestion, but food never passes through them.
