Stomach, Oesophagus, Large intestine, Small intestine, Anus.

Accepted Answer

The alimentary canal is a long tubular structure consisting of digestive organs that help in the digestion of food with the help of enzymes secreted by organs and the other digestive glands.

The mouth is the first opening of the alimentary canal that consists of teeth for cutting and grinding food and a tongue which secretes amylase for the digestion of carbohydrates. The oesophagus is a tube-like structure that connects the mouth to the stomach. The stomach secretes HCl and gastric juice which helps in the digestion of proteins. The food moves forward into the small intestine, which secretes intestine juice, and receives the secretion of the liver and pancreas. The digestion and absorption of food occurs in the small intestine. The undigested food moves to the large intestine and is removed from the body through the anus. Therefore, the correct sequence of the given terms is-

Oesophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Anus.
