Hey, Everyone! Want to take a fun trip... inside the human body? Come on, don't be afraid, it's totally safe! We'll start with the mouth. Because it's the gateway to the digestive system. It's specifically designed to convert food into useful nutrients that keep you energized and help cells grow and repair themselves. By the way, did you know that the amount of saliva you produce in a year could fill 2 medium-sized bathtubs? That's almost a pool full of saliva! Ewh! But saliva is really useful because it mixes with food and breaks it down even more. That way, your stomach doesn't have to digest the entire chunk of food. Interested? Then go for it! You'll learn a lot about your body!

As you chew, the food is broken down into pieces to make it easier to move through. The muscles in the walls of this guy’s esophagus are squeezing behind me and relaxing in front of me. This is a process called peristalsis and it’s what moves me through the digestive system. The stomach holds, mixes, and grinds food into a pulp, so it has to be pretty strong. The small intestine is made up of 3 parts. Bile is essential for digesting fats and removing all the waste products from the blood. So be thankful your liver makes it. And that pear-shaped thing over there – that’s the gallbladder. It sits under the liver and stores bile in it until the right moment comes. Also known as the colon, it’s a muscular tube that’s 1.5-2 meters long. The gut needs good bacteria to help break down food, vitamins and nutrients so the body can use them. There’s plenty of bacteria everywhere. There can’t be too little or too much – otherwise you’ll have digestive problems like food intolerances. When it gets too full of stool, the left colon decides to dump it all into the rectum because it can’t hold it in on its own. The rectum is a straight chamber that’s about 20 cm long. It has special sensors, like this one or the one over there, that tell you when you need to poo. When the time is right (i.e. you find a toilet) and the sphincter relaxes, voila! The stool comes out. Those rectal sensors also help so the urge to poo goes away for a while.
