Digestive system/The gift of taste!!!!!

Hey do you like sandwichs, hamburgers, and cheese burgers and pizza right? Well you wouldn't like any of that stuff if you didn't have taste buds(Papillae)and when ever you eat something little signals to your brain to tell it it what it taste like.Foods tasted on the tongue can be  grouped into four categories.Sweet,sour,salty and bitter.There is another thing that makes you chew and that is your saliva and what it does it moistens the food before it goes down so you don't choke!!!
This is the tongue and the categories of the taste buds...


Next were going to talk about the(Esophagus)The esophagus is the tube that goes from the mouth to the stomach it can be found behind the the windpipe and the heart.The esophagus is made of muscular walls and is about ten inches long in an adult.That was kinda a boring video but it gives you an idea.


              
   Know we are going to talk about the stomach and it looks like this..
The stomach is what your food goes to after you chew an swallow it.The stomach has acid in it called hydrochloric acid and the acid has a mucous lining if it weren't for the mucous lining your stomach would of burned up that would have not been fun anyway the acid that is in your stomach can burn a hole in your carpet!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW. The stuff that stays in your stomach the longest is your fats.If you eat to much fast food you can get obsessed and that means that it is harder for your stomach to take in the food.




  This is an example of food we shouldn't eat.


This is an example of food we shouldn't eat.
I  know it looks good but it is hard for our stomachs to take that in.It is ok to eat it sometimes but not every day because you could become fat.





Now we are going to talk about the small intestine and it is the thing that finishes the presses of digestion and absorbs the neutrinos and passes the residue to the large intestine(WOW)!!!!!!!!!! That is alot for a intestine.



This is the small intestine



Now I'm going to talk about the large intestine the thing that receives residue like I said at the top if you were paying attention anyway large intestine um well its the thing that extends from the ileocecal junction GOSH what a word.............. It also takes the body's unwanted food and then well it comes out!!!!!
