ELA TOTD2 Review

Let's talk about the amazing digestive system in your body. It's like a food-processing factory! When you eat, your mouth starts the process by chewing and mixing food with saliva. Then, it goes down a long tube called the esophagus and into your stomach, where it gets mixed with stomach juices to break it down even more. After that, it enters the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed into your bloodstream to give you energy. The leftover stuff goes to the large intestine, where water is absorbed, and the waste is prepared to leave your body. Finally, you expel what your body can't use. So remember, your digestive system is like a super chef, turning your food into energy and keeping you healthy! << What is the long tube called that food travels down to go to your stomach?

• medium intestine
