Digestive System

What Really Happen When Food Travels Through Your Digestive System

When you eat doesn't it feel weird when you swallow? Well today
we are learning about our
inside of our body called digestive system.

When you drink icy cold water can you feel it going down your esophagus?
 Well this is how your digestive system works.

Food travels through your mouth, then your stomach, after to the small
intestine lastly the large intestine that connects with the rectum/anus.

First of all it goes down the esophagus mix with the saliva
and it only takes 7 second for the food to travel through the
esophagus and ending up at the stomach.

Next it ends up at the stomach.
The muscles helps push the food
down and the acids inside the stomach can harm the stomach but
at least we have mucus inside of our stomach.
Also the stomach is like a sac bag/ muscle bag

Second it travels down the sphincter muscle and into the small intestine
and this is really how the magic happens.
These little fingers like thing is called villi, it absorbs the good things for the blood.

Lastly it travels to the final stop your large intestine.
The large intestine takes all the liquid out to make a solid poop.
And also you can see the blood vessels from the small intestine.

I noticed that when the food goes down your digestive system it only takes
8 hours for the food to travel from different parts of your digestive system.
