2. Breaks down and physically digests food - Stomach

3. Metabolizes nutrients, detoxifies blood, makes bile - Liver

4. Stores and concentrates bile - Gallbladder

5. Removes waste products and excess fluid - Kidney

6. Filtering structure of kidney - Nephron

7. Produces eggs and reproductive hormones - Ovary

8. Produces sperm and reproductive hormone - Testis

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking to correctly match certain digestive organs with their respective function. The organs and their function are as follows:

- Small intestine: Small intestine is the major organ that digests food chemically, and also absorbs nutrients and minerals from food.

- Stomach: This breaks down and physically digests food.

- Liver is responsible for metabolizing nutrients, detoxification of blood, and making of bile.

- Gall bladder is a greenish yellow organ responsible for the storage and concentration of the bile produced by the liver.

- Kidney is the major excretory organ of the body, which removes waste products and excess fluid from the body.

- Nephrons are numerous filtering structure of the kidney.

- Ovary is the female reproductive organ that produces the eggs/ova and other reproductive hormone like oestrogen.

- Testis is the male reproductive organ that produces the sperm and other reproductive hormone like testosterone etc.
