The film shows the central organ of digestion, the stomach. A separate chapter shows the path of food through the human body and focuses in particular on the processes in the stomach. The importance of a healthy diet for the human body is emphasised. The anatomy of the human stomach and the structure of the gastric mucosa are shown and illustrated graphically. Finally, stomachs in the animal kingdom are presented and in particular the stomachs of birds and cows are explained. In conjunction with the extensive teaching material (interactive and classic worksheets, test questions, lesson outline), this DVD is ideal for use in the classroom.
