The Food's Journey To The Large Intestine

The food’s journey to the large intestine.

Introduction:  Did you ever sit at the table and wonder what happens to the food that goes into your mouth?

While you are eating, inside your mouth your teeth is breaking down your all of food into little pieces. Then your saliva softens the food so that your food your tongue can push it back into your throat.

When your food has reached the esophagus, the muscles in your esophagus have a pattern to follow. The muscles try to push the food to the stomach, and by doing that one muscle pushes the food down while the other muscle relaxes then the next muscle pushes while the other one relaxes.

When the food reaches the stomach, the food has landed in gastric liquid and then becomes food liquid.

When the food has become liquid it is now travelling from the stomach into the small intestine. The small intestine grabs all of your vitamins,irons, proteins, calcium and minerals from the liquid from your food.

When the small intestine has finished doing it’s part all the liquid moves on into the large intestine. The large  intestine grabs all your water and salt and stores it.

When the process is done it is turned into poop.
