The journey through your digestive system!
Mouth
 Lets begin our journey! The first step on the digestive
system is eating. When you put food in your mouth
you have to chew it up so it doesn’t get caught in your
throat.
Epiglottis

opening to the larynx. Without the Epiglottis your
food might get caught in your larynx.
Liver

the bodies energy and get rid of the toxins.
Gallbladder
 A gallbladder is a pouch that stores bile. It releases bile
into the duodenum. It also digests the fat you eat.
Stomach
 The stomach has a lining that is really tough. Its tough
enough to hold up in the highly acidic environment.
Pancreas
 The pancreas makes hormones including insulin to
regulate the blood glucose levels. It also makes
enzymes to break down food in the intestines.
Large Intestine
 The large intestine consists of three parts the cecum ,
colon, and the rectum.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is called small because of its width
not its length. Its actually much larger than the large
intestine. The small and large intestine form a
continuous tube.
Appendix
 The appendix is attached to the cecum. When it gets
inflamed its called appendicitis.
Anus
The anus marks the exit of the digestive track were the
feces leave the body.
