  1. The Digestive System

  2. The Mouth • The digestive system starts at the mouth. • Salivary glands make food easy swallow. • The Epiglottis prevents food from going to the lungs. • The esophagus is a tube that carries food to the stomach.

  3. Esophagus • The esophagus is a muscular tube that carries stuff from the throat to the stomach. • The esophagus uses peristaltic movement to transport stuff to the stomach.

  4. Stomach • The stomach is connected to the small intestine. • The stomach has acid that break down food. • The stomach’s inside wall is protected by mucus.

  5. Gall Bladder • The gall bladder stores minerals, salts, and water. • The minerals, salts , and water is taken from the liver. • It’s turned into mucus and released to the stomach.

  6. Small and Large Intestine • The small intestine makes food less acidic so it can be taken into the blood. • The muscles of the small intestine move food in one direction. • The large intestine helps digest the food. • The waste is then transported through the large intestine and out the rectum.

  7. Rectum • rectum pushes the waste to the anus. The

  8. Anus • The anus gets rid of waste.

  9. How food goes through the body

  10. After the food goes through the body • After food goes through the body ,if you’re pody trained, it goes into the toilet. Hopefully.

  11. We make eating possible. If we didn’t eat we would die We can get rid of liquid too The excretory only gets rid of liquid. Humans could live without the excretory system Why you shouldn’t take us off ,you should take the excretory system.

  12. Fast Facts About The Digestive System • It takes about 24 hours, depending on what food it is, for food to be digested. • We make 1 to 3 pints of saliva a day. • An adults esophagus (or gullet) is 10 to 14 inches long and 1 inch wide. • An adult stomach can hold up to 1.5 liters of food. • Thanks to the esophagus food will get to the stomach even if we were on our heads.

  13. More fast facts, sorry we ran out of room on the last slide • The juices that the stomach produce are acidic. • The stomach would digest itself if there wasn’t a wall of mucus protecting it.
