Hey! Want to take an epic journey... through the human body? Come on, don't be afraid, there's nothing to fear! We'll start with your mouth because it's the gateway to your digestive system. This system is specifically designed to turn food into useful nutrients that give you energy and help your cells grow and repair. And here's a number that will blow your mind: the amount of saliva you produce in a year could fill 2 average-sized bathtubs! Almost a swimming pool full of drool! Yuck! But saliva is very useful because it mixes with food and breaks it down even better. This way, your stomach doesn't have to digest whole pieces of food. So, do you want to come with me? You're going to learn a lot about yourself! Other videos you might like: How Long Do Your Favorite Foods Stay In Your Stomach? • How Long Do Your Favorite Foods...

As you chew, the food is broken down into pieces to make the process easier. - The muscles in the walls of this human's esophagus tighten behind me and open up in front of me. It's a process called peristalsis, and it's what moves me through your digestive system. - The stomach receives, mixes, and grinds food into mush, so it must be pretty strong. - The small intestine is made up of 3 sections. Bile is crucial for digesting fats and removing all the waste from your blood, so you have to be grateful to your liver, which produces it. - And that thing over there that looks like a pear is the gallbladder. It's located under the liver and is responsible for storing the bile until the right time. - Also known as the colon, it's a tube made of muscles, and it's 5 to 6 feet long. - Your intestines need good bacteria to help them break down food, vitamins, and nutrients so your body can use them. - There's still plenty of bacteria everywhere. They work hard, huh? Well, there can't be too much or too little, otherwise you'll have digestive problems like food intolerances. - When the colon on the left gets too full of stool, it decides to empty it all into the rectum because it can't keep it in by itself. - The rectum is a straight chamber about 20 cm long. It has special sensors, like this one or this one, that let you know when there's something you should uh... get rid of. - If the time is right for you (i.e. if you find a toilet), the sphincters relax, and voila! Your stool finds its way out. - These sensors in the rectum also help to suppress the urge to release its contents for a while.
