Introduction
Your digestive system is the system that breaks up
food and uses blood and energy
Description
Your digestive system includes many different organs
such as the teeth, tongue, esophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, small
intestine, large intestine and rectum. The stomach also has a very important
job. It stores food until it is ready to carry on. The esophagus also is an
important organ it carries your food from your mouth to your stomach. One other
important organ is the small intestine. It is very long and thin and it turns
all the nutrients into energy.
How it works
Firstly you chew your food in your mouth. This breaks
up your food. Then your food goes down an elastic tube at the back of your
throat called the esophagus. This transports food from your mouth to your
stomach. In your stomach food gets broken down by digestive juices. Then it
goes into your small intestine where the nutrients get turned into energy.
Finally everything that is left gets dried up in your large intestine. The
goodness that is left can now be carried round your body.
Conclusion
The digestive system is a very important system
because it keeps us alive so you need to look after it.
