Transcript The digestive system - Bramber Primary School

THE FIRST STEPS
HI, I'M AN APPLE. I'M ABOUT TO GO DOWN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM,
THIS MAN IS EATING ME……
WHAT IS THAT? OH NO IT’S THE MOOOUUUTTTHH……!
THE LEGENDARY ADVENTURE
What are these white hard things that I’m getting chewed
with. I’ll search it up on applepedia when I get home.
Actually, I know it’s the teeth. With the hard enamel on the
outside.
THE MOUTH
I’M INSIDE THE MOUTH, THE GREAT GNASHING TEETH DIGGING INTO ME, I’M GETTING FLUNG AROUND THE
MOUTH WITH THE MOIST RUBBERY TONGUE. I’VE BEEN CRUSHED INTO A LOAD OF PIECES. I’M SWIFTLY
MOVING TO THE OESOPHAGUS. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! I’VE JUST BEEN SWALLOWED!!
OESOPHAGUS
I’m being squeezed down the oesophagus, down
and down into the dark cave, it smells from where
junk food has been in it.
STOMACH
I AM BEING HELD IN THE STOMACH, AND I’M BEING
FORCED THROUGH IT BY THE STOMACH MUSCLES.
I’M TURNING INTO A LIQUID CALLED
CHIME, WHICH IS SLOWLY DRIPPING INTO THE
SMALL INTESTINE.
SMALL INTESTINE
Did you know? The small
intestine is nearly the length
of a double decker bus!!
IT IS SLIPPERY LIKE A SLIDE , WET, SLOPPY , BUMPY AND PINK - AND ALL THE NUTRIENTS ARE BEING TAKEN
OUT THROUGH THE INTESTINAL WALLS AND ONLY THE WASTE IS LEFT.
EVEN THOUGH IT IS LONGER THAN THE LARGE INTESTINE, IT IS CALLED THE SMALL INTESTINE BECAUSE IT IS
THINNER. THEN I MOVE INTO THE LARGE INTESTINE FOR FURTHER PROCESSING.
LARGE INTESTINE
THE LARGE INTESTINE IS LIKE THE SMALL INTESTINE, BUT
HAS MORE ROOM TO STRETCH AND KEEP ME FIT. THE LARGE
INTESTINE DOES NOT FEEL AS LONG AS THE SMALL INTESTINE.
IT FEELS COLD BECAUSE I AM GETTING NEAR TO THE END OF
MY JOURNEY.
I WONDER WHEN I WILL COME OUT? THE
REMAINING WATER IS BEING ABSORBED AND THE LEFT
OVER WASTE IS BEING SQUASHED IN TO POO!
THE LAST STEP
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT……….
THE END!!!..... !
