The order of passage of food in the digestive system is

  • A. ileum caecum large intestine rectum
  • B. ileum colon caecum rectumCorrect
  • C. large intestine ileum caecum rectum
  • D. colon caecum ileum rectum

Explanation

The food moves from the ileum (one of the three main divisions of the small intestine) to the colon (a part of the large intestine). It then moves from the colon to the caecum, and finally to the rectum. Thus, the sequence is: Ileum -> colon -> caecum -> rectum.
