The digestive system
Our body needs food to grow, be active and stay healthy. Our digestive system breaks the food and absorbs the nutrients. This is called DIGESTION. Nutrients travel to the rest of our body in our blood.
The food goes into our mouth. We taste it with our tongue. We chew it with our teeth. We chew and chew and chew till it´s done.
We swallow the pieces and into the stomach they go.
The stomach mixes them with juices, and into the large intestine they go.
The nutrients are absorved. And travel to the rest of our body through our blood.
And the waste that it´s not wanted goes to the large intestine and pfrrrrr.
