Xol y dustin project

  1. 1. By: Dustin Lee & Xol Torres
  2. 2. Mouth The mouth consists of the teeth, saliva glands, and the tongue. The teeth chew the food breaking it down, while this happens, the saliva moisturizes the food making it easier to swallow. Fun Fact: The uvula separates the windpipe from the esophagus so that you can breathe while you swallow food.
  3. 3. Esophagus The esophagus is a muscle that pushes food into your stomach. Fun Fact: The esophagus pushes the food down, so if you where in space, you could still swallow properly.
  4. 4. Stomach The stomach produces hydrochloric acid which begins the process of digestion. The stomach also consists of acid and enzymes that breaks the food down so it seems like a liquid soup. Fun Fact: Drinking water helps the stomach work properly, since without it, it would not work properly.
  5. 5. Step 3 b. Liver The liver produces bile which helps the stomach break down fats. The liver helps to regulate sugar in your blood, stores vitamins, and breaks down dangerous substances. Fun Fact: Biggest organ in the body.
  6. 6. Step 3 c. Pancreas Produces pancreas juice which helps break down carbohydrates and proteins. Fun Fact: The pancreas produces hormones that go into the blood which then carries these hormones to different parts of the body which perform some of the most vital function of the body.
  7. 7. Small Intestine The small intestine moves the food through the body connecting to the large intestine. While the food passes by, the villi drain nutrients from the food and send it to the bloodstream. There, the bloodstream takes it around the body. Fun Fact: The small intestine is about 20 feet long.
  8. 8. Large Intestine/ Colon The food dries up and breaks down in the large intestine, and the bacteria inside feasts on the solid waste, and breaks it down further. Sometimes the bacteria causes you to fart. Fun Fact: The walls of the large intestine absorb the last remaining nutrients and water from the poop.
  9. 9. Vocabulary • Saliva: Moisturizes the food so it is easier to swallow down. • Bile: A liquid that is produced by the liver, that helps break down fats. • Excretion: The process of getting waste out of the body • Digestion: The process of breaking down food into fuel.
