Hey guys! Do you want to go on an epic journey…through the human body? Come on, don’t be scared, it’s completely safe! We’ll start with your mouth, because that’s the entrance to your digestive system. This system is designed specifically to turn food into the nutrients you need to keep you full of energy and your cells growing and repairing. By the way, did you know that the amount of saliva you produce in a year would fill two average-sized bathtubs? That’s like a swimming pool full of saliva! Ugh! But saliva is necessary. It mixes with the food and breaks it down even more. This way, your stomach doesn’t have to digest large chunks of food. Interesting? Then I invite you! You’ll learn a lot about yourself!

As you chew your food in your mouth, you break it down into smaller pieces to make the process easier. The muscles in the walls of your esophagus tighten behind me and relax in front of me. This process is called peristalsis, and it's what moves me through your digestive system. Your stomach holds, mixes, and grinds up food, so it has to be strong. The small intestine is made up of three parts. Bile is essential for digesting fat and removing waste from your blood, so thank your liver for making it. And that pear-shaped thing is your gallbladder. It sits under your liver and holds bile, which it releases at the right time. The large intestine is also known as the colon. It’s a muscular tube that’s about 5 to 6 feet long. Your intestines need good bacteria to break down food, vitamins, and nutrients so your body can use them. There’s still a lot of bacteria here. You can’t have too little or too much. Otherwise, you’d have digestive problems like food intolerances. When there’s too much feces in the descending colon, it gets dumped into the rectum because the colon can’t hold it all on its own anymore. The rectum is a simple chamber about 8 inches long. It has special receptors, like this one and that one, that let you know when it’s time to get rid of something. If the time is right (that is, if you’ve found a toilet), the sphincters relax and voila! The stool comes out. The receptors in the rectum will make the need to get rid of its contents disappear for a while.
