         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.

           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.          

         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?      ...

                     Where does digestion begin? What helps make digestion possible? How does digestion                happen?                      Digestion begins in the mouth where the food is chewed and cut into small pieces. The                teeth breakdown, chop, and grind the food so that it can be swallowed easily. Different teeth             perform different functions in breaking down food.                       The incisors cut the food. The cuspids tear it. The molars grind and crush the food.                     How do they do this? Look at the different shapes of the teeth. How are their shapes re...

             The stomach is a hollow muscular bag at the end of the esophagus. It is just above the  waistline, on the left side. The part below the waistline is the abdomen, not the stomach. The  stomach can stretch if you eat a big meal.           The inner walls of the stomach are covered with glands that make gastric juice. The walls of  the  stomach tumble, shake, squeeze, and mix the food with the gastric juice. This makes the food  look like thick soup. Eacg day, about two liters of gastric juice is made in the stomach.
