The Fantastic Journey of Food: A Tour of Your Digestive System
Imagine you're a tasty piece of apple pie, about to embark on an amazing adventure! First stop: the mouth, where teeth grind you into smaller pieces and saliva starts to break you down. Then, you slide down a long tube called the esophagus into the stomach. Here, strong acids churn you into a liquid soup! Next, you move to the small intestine, a coiling, lengthy path where nutrients are absorbed. Finally, you enter the large intestine, where water is removed before you exit the body. Remember this fantastic journey next time you enjoy your favorite food!
