Digestive System




In our class, we had a task to write an informative report on the digestive system. The report had to include most of the body parts in the digestive system, and what they do to help the body. 🍔🍟 
This is what I created. 👍😄

Digestive System 

The Digestive System is one of the many systems in our body. It is a very important system, as it keeps our body filled with energy. The Digestive System is made up of hollow organs. The first is the Esophagus.
When you smell food your Digestive System is already working as it creates Saliva to clear all the bad things in our food. Once your food has been broken down it flows down your Esophagus. It then transports food and water to your stomach.

Moving on to the Stomach. The Stomach is one of the bigger organs in the Digestive System

It receives all the food from the Esophagus it is filled with acid which dissolves the food you eat. The mashed up mixture is then transported to the small intestine.

The small intestine is the longest organ in the digestive system because when it is fully stretched out it is roughly 6 metres long. The small intestine's job is to absorb the nutrients from the food we eat and turns it into energy. From here the food mixture is carried to the large intestine.

The large intestine is smaller than the small intestine by a long shot, but is just as important. The large intestine absorbs the water and the remaining mixture is transformed into feces.

The Anus is the last part of the digestive system. The Anus tells your body whether or not the mixture is a liquid, gas or a solid. The last step is to dispose the mixture as feces.
