Question

Imagine you are a piece of food! In a paragraph, describe what would happen to you on a journey through the human digestive system. Include discussion of the following structures: esophagus, large intestine, mouth, stomach, small intestine. Please use the first person and make sure to write in your own words. Note, extra high quality/creative work can earn extra credit!

Answer 1

Answer:

1. I will be broken down in the mouth

     Teeth will tear the food and saliva is slightly acidic so it will also break me             down

   2. I will then travel down the esophagus into the stomach

       The acid will break the food down even more

   3. After that, I will go into the large intestine and then the small intestine

       Where nutrients will be extracted, and I will be starting to become waste

   4. Then solid waste will go to out as feces, and liquid waste will go to     bladder and also leave the body
