Title - Digestive System Report

Your digestive system starts with your saliva going into your mouth. Then you put the food into your mouth and your saliva mixes in with the food. While you chew the food your saliva starts to break the food up into little pieces and your teeth break it down further for you to swallow.





The food you swallow goes down your throat then your oesophagus pushes your food down into your stomach. Then your food sits in your stomach and gets swished around with your stomach acid to get turned into liquid so it’s easier to digest and go down your intestines.





Your food sits in your stomach and small intestine for 6-8 hours. After that your food passes through the small intestine and your big intestine then gets through your anus, but first your energy goes in to your body and then the rest goes into the toilet.




So I know if I eat food it has to go through 10 steps before leaving my body. Also your small intestine is 20 feet and 1 inch long, and your big intestine is 5 feet and 3 inches long which is the same as 2X tane mahuta the tree in width.
