Question types: Body parts from top to bottom

Rule: The human body

The heart pumps blood round the whole body. In the lungs the blood takes in oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide.

The brain controls the body. The stomach and intestines digest food. The skeleton supports the body, muscles move it.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry it back to the heart.

Example: The path of food: mouth → gullet → stomach → small intestine → large intestine.

Watch out: Air doesn’t go to the stomach: it goes through the nose and windpipe to the lungs, food goes down the gullet.
