Digestive System
Texto do Storyboard
- To more easily absorb different foods, your saliva helps break down what you’re eating and turn it into chemicals called enzymes
- Once your food is broken down from saliva and chewing, it moves through your esophagus, which is the pipe that connects your mouth to your stomach. A process called peristalsis – the tightening and relaxation of muscles in the intestine to transport food and waste products – allows food to move more smoothly through the digestive tract. This means that food can only travel in a single direction, so you could stand on your head while eating and food will continue to move through your esophagus to your stomach!
- Your stomach is where food is stored and further broken down by acid and powerful enzymes. From there, food moves into the small intestine.
