Digestive System Art Poster

A few weeks ago part of our contract we had to draw a detailed digestive system and put an explanation on the side.
Here is mine!

The Digestive System

The Digestive System 

The digestive system is one of the most important
things in your body

they help

to obtain the energy we need to stay alive,

to get the raw materials required for
building all our tissues. 

When eating, the food in your mouth gets
chewed down and mixed

with your saliva. It then gets swallowed
past your Pharynx and down your

Esophagus tube where Peristalsis helps
it to move down to your stomach.

Over time the acid in your stomach

helps break down the food

and helps

kill the bacteria your stomach
mechanically digests your food into

a substance called Chyme. 

The food then goes down into the
small intestine which also includes

the Duodenum

the Jejunum and Ileum.

The liver then creates a
substance called Bile and the

Gallbladder then store some
of the Bile the pancreas produces

pancreatic juice called insulin to

neutralize the acid chyme.

Once the acid chyme goes
through the small intestine it then

moves to the

large intestine and the colon, inside there are

several sites absorbing the

water and

electrolytes in the

acid chyme and its Microbial Flora produce

B vitamins and vitamin K then

comes out as waste.
