The Small and Large Intestines

Image
         The small intestine is a coiled tube about 6 meters long. If you were to lay it straight, it would be four or five times the length of your body. It is connected to your stomach. It is lined with muscles that also have peristalsis movement.            The first part of the intestine is called the duodenum . From its walls flow liquid substances. Bile flows into the intestines from the liver and juice from pancreas. Bile helps digest fatty foods. Pancreatic juice helps digest starches, proteins and fats.                              The food becomes almost liquid in the intestine. Nutrients in the food are absorbed by the body through the blood vessels along the intestinal walls.             The walls of the small intestines are lined with villi. These look like tiny fingers. The villi separate the food nutrients ready to be absorbed by the walls from the food that is not ready yet. Through the villi, the food nutrients flow into the bloodstream which distributes them to the c

The Tongue

Image
           What helps you swallow the food you eat?              The tongue is a strong muscle that helps the teeth. It mixes the saliva and the food. Then it turns the food so the teeth can break it up. When the food is finely cut up. the tongue then pushes it to the back of the mouth and into the throat.          

The Pharynx and the Esophagus

Image
         When the food is swallowed, it slips down the throat and passes through the pharynx. There are two passages leading out from the pharynx; one is the esophagus which is the passage for the food and the other is the windpipe which is the passage for the air. The muscles of the pharynx move the food to the esophagus. This is a tube leading from the throat to the stomach. The esophagus is about 25 cm. long.              When you swallow, the opening to your windpipe closes. If you talk while you swallow, the food may get into the windpipe. This will cause you to choke and cough until the food particle gets out from your windpipe.               The muscles of the esophagus move the food toward the stomach. This squeezing movement of muscles is called peristalsis.               What is peristalsis movement like?               The movement of the toothpaste from its tube is similar to what happens to the food in your esophagus. The food is forced into the stomach by peristalsis.
