The start of the digestive systemFirst you
chew your food and it goes down your esophagus to your stomach.
When your food reaches your stomach most of it gets broken down by the enzymes in your stomach. Then the partly digested food goes on a little trip to your small intestine.
The small intestineThen the food reaches the small intestine which is a constantly squeezing 5 meter long tube. The gall bladder makes a liquid called bile. Bile helps with the digesting in your intestine.
The small intestine continued
The small intestine has some microscopic holes on the side, so each time it squeezes the nutrients are forced through the holes and into your blood.
The large intestineThe large intestine
gives out a substance called mucus. The mucus softens the faeces (poo). The faeces are sent down your rectum
to your anus and lands for a splash down in the toilet.
