You eat a meal. And then a bit later… you do a poo! But what happens in between? NG KiDS takes a juicy journey down through your digestive system to find out where your grub goes\u2026<\/h2>\n

It takes around 24 hours<\/strong> for your dinner to wind its way through the nine-metre-long digestive tract<\/strong>. On its trip, it’s mixed with acids and digestive juices, and squeezed and squelched until all the nutrients that the body needs are absorbed. Then, the smelly leftovers, along with billions of dead bacteria, are ready to exit the body. Plop! Let’s follow your food to learn about the brilliant bits of our bodies that make up the digestive system.<\/p>\n

\"digestive<\/a><\/p>\n

1. MOUTH<\/h3>\n

It all starts here! Up to 28 strong\u00a0teeth<\/strong>* chomp your food, breaking it into smaller bits. Meanwhile, the\u00a0tongue<\/strong>\u00a0keeps moving the food around, shifting it to the type of teeth that will be best at munching it. It also squeezes the chewed grub into swallowable lumps, pushing them back towards the throat. Gulp!<\/p>\n


\nFast fact<\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0When you swallow, a little flap of cartilage called the epiglottis closes off the windpipe so food doesn’t go down there by mistake.<\/em><\/p>\n

*Most grown-ups have 32 teeth. You usually grow four \u2018wisdom\u2019 teeth between the ages of 17 and 24.<\/h5>\n

2. OESOPHAGUS<\/h3>\n

Also known as the gullet<\/strong>, this 25cm-long tube contracts to shift chewed food down to your stomach. The squeezing motion of the muscles is called peristalsis<\/strong> and it occurs throughout the digestive system. A slimy mucus is also oozed from the oesophagus to help the food on its way. Easy does it!<\/p>\n

Fast fact<\/strong>: Thanks to peristalsis, food would get to your stomach even if you were standing on your head!<\/em><\/p>\n

3. STOMACH<\/h3>\n

Next stop \u2013 the stomach! This stretchy muscular bag is about the size of a tennis ball<\/strong> when it’s empty, but expands to the size of a football<\/strong> to store a massive meal. As soon as food plops inside, the stomach lining releases digestive juices and acid that break down the food even more, killing harmful bacteria<\/strong>. Muscles slosh and squelch the food together with the juices until it becomes a sloppy soup called chyme<\/strong> that\u2019s ready to be squirted into the small intestine<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

Fast fact<\/strong>: The acid in your stomach is so strong it could dissolve an iron nail!* To stop your stomach digesting itself, it\u2019s lined with a protective mucus, and your stomach cells are replaced every few days.<\/em><\/p>\n

* Please do not eat a nail. Ever.<\/h5>\n

4. SMALL INTESTINE<\/h3>\n

Despite the name, this section of your digestive tract is really not that small \u2013 it’s a whopping 6.5-metres-long! It’s in this 3cm-wide tube that all the nutrients<\/strong> in your mushed-up food pass through the small-intestine<\/strong> lining into the blood<\/strong>. Once all the goodness is gone, the sloppy mixture passes to the next part of the intestines\u2026<\/p>\n

Fast fact:<\/strong> The lining of the small intestine is covered with teeny finger-like bumps called “villi”. They give the lining a large surface area to help with absorption.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"digestive<\/a><\/p>\n

5. LARGE INTESTINE<\/h3>\n

More than twice as wide as the small intestine, but only 1.5-metres-long, the job of the large intestine<\/strong> is to soak up water, salts and minerals from the indigestible leftovers. Finally, the remaining semi-solid waste, called faeces<\/strong>, travels to the lower colon<\/strong> and rectum for storage. When you go to the loo, a ring of muscle called the anus<\/strong> relaxes to allow the poo out! Super and stinky!<\/p>\n

Fast fact<\/strong>: Your small and large intestines together are known as your bowels!<\/em><\/p>\n

A. SALIVARY GLANDS<\/h4>\n

Most of the slimy liquid in your mouth is produced by three pairs of salivary glands<\/strong>. This saliva<\/strong> moistens food, making it easier to swallow. It\u2019s also full of chemicals called enzymes<\/strong> that help to break down food. Amazingly, just the smell<\/strong> of good grub can make your mouth start to water!<\/p>\n

Fast fact<\/strong>: Your salivary glands can produce up to six cups of saliva per day. Squelch!<\/em><\/p>\n

B. LIVER<\/h4>\n

This busy brown organ is your largest internal organ and has about 500 different jobs<\/strong>! It\u2019s like a chemical processing factory \u2013 blood carries nutrients there from the small intestine, then the liver decides what to do with them. It also gets rid of toxins<\/strong> (substances that can be harmful to the body), recycles old blood cells<\/strong>, makes bile and other digestive juices, and produces, stores and releases glucose<\/strong> (to give you energy).<\/p>\n

Fast fact<\/strong>: About <\/em>one third of the body\u2019s blood flows through the liver every minute!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"digestive<\/a><\/p>\n

C. GALLBLADDER<\/h3>\n

The role of this green, pear-shaped organ is to store bile<\/strong> and make it thicker and stronger before adding it to the small intestine.<\/p>\n

D. PANCREAS<\/h4>\n

Your pancreas<\/strong> makes chemicals called enzymes<\/strong> which help digest nutrients in your food. It also makes insulin<\/strong>, a hormone which helps control your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n

E. APPENDIX<\/h4>\n

Doctors used to think that this thin little organ was useless \u2013 a leftover body part from early humans. But today it\u2019s thought that the appendix<\/strong> stores “good bacteria<\/strong>” that can help your digestive system work again after you\u2019ve been poorly.<\/p>\n
