Digestive System Flashcards

Offering an in-depth overview of the digestive system, these flashcards help educators make learning physiological concepts fun and accessible. With over 90 cards composed of different series, it caters to varying levels of study - from general system reviews to nuanced identification exercises.

Set Features:

• The First Set: Comprises 18 flashcards that complement a unit on Digestive System - perfect as comprehensive revision tools or check points for student's understanding during the course of study.
• The Second Set: Made up of 26 anatomical identification cards that aid in clear recognition of various organs and features within the system.
• The Third Set: Includes a robust collection of 54 vocabulary flashcards mastering which allows learners to decipher complex terminology associated with digestion such as gastrointestinal tract (GI), excretion, peristalsis, villi etc.

These sets can be interchanged or combined according to teaching needs making them an incredibly flexible tool for disseminating knowledge. Preparing these cards is easy: simply fold, laminate and cut out.

Purpose:

• Cater well from English Language Learners expanding their technical lexicon to advanced students delving deep into biology or physiology studies alike.
• Aligns with Common Core standards by encouraging deeper engagement with academic vocabulary while doubling as crucial support material for Anatomy/Physiology coursework.
• Foster greater comprehension retention amongst students giving them confidence when broaching challenging health science topics.

This resource contains 3 sets of flashcards with over 90 individual flashcards. The first set contains 18 flashcards with general review questions that go with my digestive system unit. The second set contains 26 digestive system anatomy identification flashcards. The third set contains 54 digestive system vocabulary flashcards.

Some of the vocabulary includes: gastrointestinal tract (GI), ingestion, mechanical processing, digestion, secretion, absorption, excretion, mesenteries, mucosa, peristalsis, bolus, oral cavity, gingival, uvula, tongue, salivary gland, saliva, salivary amylase, mastication, dentin, enamel, incisors, molars, pharynx, esophagus, deglutition, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, villi, pancreas, bile, emulsification, cholera, colitis, gall stones, mumps, and more!

This can be used in an Anatomy/Physiology class and can also be used in Biology or Life Science. Great for any level student from English Learner - EL - to more advanced students. I use these flashcards as a review and it is a great way to get the students using academic vocabulary which is an important part of the Common Core standards. It is also a good way to get English Learners to expand their vocabulary.
