gums. Our teeth vary in appearance and perform different functions. Accordingly they are given different
names and the dental formula in human beings is 2, 1, 2, 3. (Learning outcomes: understand the
biological process of tooth decay, describe best practice for keeping teeth clean, and state the key oral
health messages on tooth brushing, fluoride and dental visiting.)

The small intestine is highly coiled and is about 7.5 metres long. It receives secretions from the liver and
the pancreas. Besides, its wall also secretes juices. The liver is a reddish brown gland situated in the upper
part of the abdomen on the right side. The pancreas is a large cream coloured gland located just below the
stomach. The pancreatic juice acts on carbohydrates, fats and proteins and changes them into simpler
forms. The partly digested food now reaches the lower part of the small intestine where the intestinal
juice completes the digestion of all components of the food. (Learning outcomes: Describe the functions
of the human digestive system)
