How the digestive system works I NTRODUCTION The digestive system breaks down all the food that we eat and gets all the nutrients out of the food.

DESCRIPTION OF PARTS: These are all of the parts in the digestive system.The mouth and the esophagus.The esophagus is like a long straw but bigger and longer.Next is the stomach.Then the small intestine, it is like a really long hydro slide and then there is the large intestine.

HOW IT WORKS: This is how the digestive system works.The first thing is that the food goes into your mouth your teeth grinds up all the food with the help of our saliva, our saliva moistens the food so it will be easier to grind up.After that the food goes down the oesophagus the muscles in the oesophagus helps push down the food into the stomach.The stomach has hydrochloric acid which breaks down the food.Next is the small intestine, the small intestine breaks down fat and pancreatic juice breaks down sugars,the last thing is the large intestine,the large intestine absorbs all the reaming nutrients like water and salts.

CONCLUSION: The digestive system is a very important part in your body.You need the digestive system to digest your food.Without our digestive system we would die.
