Text, Questions & Answers

Have you ever wondered what happens to the food you eat? It goes on a fantastic journey through your body's very own food processing unit, the digestive system! First stop is the mouth, where teeth chop the food and saliva softens it. Then, it slides down a special pipe, the esophagus, right into a stretchy bag - your stomach! In the stomach, food gets mixed with stomach juices to become a soup-like mixture. This mixture then travels through a long, winding tube called the intestine, where all the good stuff our body needs is absorbed. Finally, what's left over is sent out of the body. And that's your food's exciting journey through the digestive system!
