Digestive System (Humans) (Speedy Study Guides)
Available To Downloads

The human digestive system works by introducing water and enzymes into food in order to extract nutrients and minerals from it. This process is assisted by smooth, involuntary muscles along the tract that help push food along. All waste products are excreted at the end of the digestive cycle. Charts that show the inner workings of the digestive system make it easier for students to visualize precisely how the process works. This may be easier for some people to understand by visualization, rather than relying on written descriptions.

I am absolutely fascinated by the digestive system so naturally any material that I find about it quenches my thirst. This pictorial illustration, however, was okay, but could have been a little more visually enhancing. It gives names of the most familiar parts of the DS tract, but doesn't elaborate a lot on their functions. Thus, if you needed more information about exactly how each part performs - you'd have to research more information.

This guide, like many of their similar guides for various human systems, make for useful high school study guides and also for college level basic biology (biology for non-science majors). I think it could also serve a biology major or pre-med/nursing student as a possible pre-lecture outline to which they can add notes during lecture. This is a study guide, not a replacement for a textbook so expectations need to match what it is.

Excellent, exactly as described
