Hey there! Want to go on an unusual journey… through the human body? Oh, come on, don’t be afraid, it’s completely safe! Let’s start with your mouth, because it’s the gateway to your digestive system. It’s designed specifically to convert food into useful substances that energize you and help your cells grow and regenerate. By the way, did you know that the saliva you produce in a year could fill two medium-sized bathtubs! Almost a swimming pool of saliva! Yuck! But saliva is a big help because it mixes with food and breaks it down even more. Now your stomach won’t have to digest large pieces. Interested? Then let’s go! You’ll learn a lot!

Chewing breaks down the food to make the entire process easier. - The muscles in the walls of this guy's esophagus are contracting behind me and relaxing in front of me. This process is called peristalsis, and it moves me along the rest of my digestive system. - The stomach holds, mixes, and grinds the food into mush, so it has to be pretty strong. - Your small intestine has three sections. Bile is essential for digesting fat and removing all the waste from your blood, so thank your liver for making it. - And that pear-shaped thing is your gallbladder. It sits underneath your liver and holds bile inside until it’s time. - This muscular tube is about 5–6 feet long. - Your intestines need good bacteria to break down food, vitamins, and nutrients so your body can use them. - Still a ton of bacteria going around. Well, you can’t have too little or too much or you’ll develop digestive issues like food intolerances. - When your large intestine gets too much stuff, it sends it to your rectum. - The rectum is a cavity about 8 inches long. There are sensors inside it that tell you when it’s time to get rid of the excess. - If the moment is right for you (and you've found a toilet), the sphincter relaxes and ta-da! Your stool has found its way out. - Here again, the rectal sensors come to the rescue. The desire to release its contents disappears for a while.
