Digestion Process

נסה את זה בחינם!

Hi! My name is Mr. Orange and I'm going to lead y'all on a journey through the digestive system. First, as you can see, I enter the mouth so the saliva glands start pumping out saliva before the food even reaches your mouth. As you chew, the saliva mixes with me to create a soft lump of food called bolus.
The bolus will travel down on a long skinny tube called esophagus. The esophagus' muscular walls squeeze the bolus down to the stomach, our next destination.
Once it's in the stomach, hormones tells the stomach walls to release acid that breaks down the bolus into a liquid called chyme. The hormones also alert the liver, gallbladder and pancreas to start creating bile.
From there, I enter the small intestine. The liver sends bile to the gallbladder which holds in until I arrive, Tiny projections called villi absorb my molecules and the leftover fiber, water and dead cells enter the large intestines.
Then, I go through the large intestine, or also known as the colon. the colon drains out most of the fluid through the intestinal walls. This leaves a soft mass called stool.
The large intestine deposits me in a small pouch where I am held until I leave the body through the anus. And this long journey through the digestive system which takes about 30-40 hours, finally ends.
