The Digestive Tract Begins at the Oral Cavity and Ends

Question

The digestive tract begins at the oral cavity and ends at the ________.
A)Pharynx
B)Colon
C)Anus
D)Appendix

Accepted Answer

The anus is the final part of the digestive tract where waste material is eliminated from the body. The pharynx is the beginning of the upper respiratory tract, not the end of the digestive tract. The colon is a part of the large intestine, which is a section of the digestive tract, but it is not the end of it. The appendix is a vestigial organ located near the junction of the small and large intestines, and while it plays a role in the immune system, it is not considered a part of the digestive tract.
