Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: The salivary glands are considered an accessory organ of digestion.
Rationale 2: The liver is an accessory organ of digestion.
Rationale 3: The stomach is not an accessory organ of digestion.
Rationale 4: The gallbladder is an accessory organ of digestion.
Rationale 5: The pancreas is an accessory organ of digestion.
Global Rationale: The accessory organs of digestion include the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. The stomach is not considered an accessory organ.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that connects two other parts of the body.
Rationale 2: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that connects two other parts of the body.
Rationale 3: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that extends from the mouth to the anus.
Rationale 4: The GI tract is a long, continuous, hollow tube that extends from the mouth to another part of the body.
Global Rationale: The alimentary canal, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is a long, continuous, hollow tube that extends from the mouth to the anus. It includes the intestines, but these are not end points. The liver is an organ of digestion, but is not part of the alimentary canal.
