To match the digestive organs with their functions, we need to understand the role each organ plays in the digestive process. Here are the correct pairs:

1. Mouth: Moistening and mechanical digestion of food

   • The mouth is responsible for the initial breakdown of food through chewing (mechanical digestion) and mixing with saliva (moistening).

2. Pancreas: Secreting the enzymes lipase, trypsin, and amylase

   • The pancreas produces digestive enzymes like lipase, trypsin, and amylase, which are crucial for breaking down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, respectively.

3. Small intestine: Chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients

   • The small intestine is where most chemical digestion occurs, and it is the primary site for nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.

4. Large intestine: Absorption of water and compaction of indigestible material for elimination

   • The large intestine absorbs water from the remaining indigestible food matter and compacts it into feces for elimination.

5. Liver: Aiding in chemical digestion of fats

   • The liver produces bile, which helps emulsify fats, aiding in their digestion.

6. Stomach: Mechanical and chemical digestion of food with acids and enzymes

   • The stomach uses acids and enzymes to break down food both mechanically (through churning) and chemically.

In summary, the correct matches are:

• Mouth: Moistening and mechanical digestion of food
• Pancreas: Secreting the enzymes lipase, trypsin, and amylase
• Small intestine: Chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients
• Large intestine: Absorption of water and compaction of indigestible material for elimination
• Liver: Aiding in chemical digestion of fats
• Stomach: Mechanical and chemical digestion of food with acids and enzymes
