Hey guys! How about taking an epic journey... through the human body? Hey, don't be afraid, it's totally safe! Let's start with the mouth, because it's the gateway to the digestive system. This system was designed to transform food into useful nutrients to keep you energized and to help your cells grow and regenerate. By the way, did you know that the amount of saliva you produce in a year is enough to fill 2 average-sized bathtubs?! That's almost a swimming pool full of drool! Yuck! Saliva is very useful because it mixes with food and breaks it down even more. This way, your stomach doesn't have to digest whole pieces of food. Interested? Then let's go! Today you'll learn a lot about yourself! What happens inside your body? 360 VR • What happens inside your body? ...

As you chew, the food is broken down into pieces to make it easier to process. The muscles in the walls of this guy's esophagus are contracting behind me and relaxing in front of me. These are peristaltic movements, and they're what's going to help me move down the digestive tract. The stomach holds, mixes, and grinds food into mush, so it has to be pretty strong. The small intestine is a long, coiled organ that’s made up of three sections. Bile is essential for digesting fat and getting all the waste out of your blood, so thank your liver for making it. And that pear-shaped thing is your gallbladder. It sits underneath your liver and stores bile until it’s time to release it. Also known as the colon, the large intestine is a muscular tube that’s about five to six feet long. Your gut needs good bacteria to help it break down your food and extract the vitamins and nutrients so your body can use them. There are also plenty of bacteria everywhere. The thing is, you can’t have too many or too few of them – otherwise, you’ll end up with digestive problems like food intolerances. When your left colon gets too full of stool, it dumps it all into your rectum because it can’t hold it all in on its own. The rectum is a straight chamber about eight inches long. It has special sensors that tell it when it’s time to eliminate something. If the timing is right (i.e. if there is a bathroom nearby), the sphincters relax, and voila! Your poop comes out. When you are unable to get rid of feces, the sphincters contract. These sensors in the rectum also help, making that urge to go to the bathroom disappear for a while.
