KidsHealth presents: How the Body Works.
-
With Chloe and the Nurb.
-
I see your gall stones and raise you four tonsils.
-
Call! What do you got? Read em and weep.
-
A pair of kidneys!
-
Well, filter my trash. Too bad for you
-
I have a straight set of teeth.
-
Argh. Stupid, good for nothing cards. I curse the day I bought you.
-
Double or nothing?
-
Nurb, did you eat chili again? That's not me, Chloe.
-
It's a mouth!
-
Nurb, let's get out of here! I can't. I'm paralyzed with fear.
-
Burp
-
Chloe, wake up. What? Where are we?
-
We're in the mouth, the gateway to the digestive system.
-
The digestive system? Yep. It takes the food you eat,
-
breaks it down, and turns it into energy you can use.
-
It's trying to break us down into tiny pieces as we speak
-
Ahhhh! Don't worry, Chloe.
-
That's why we're wearing these spiffy, anti-digestive suits.
-
Nurb, what's this goop on my arm?
-
Oh, that's saliva. As soon as you take a bite of food
-
digestion begins.
-
Saliva contains things called enzymes that start breaking down food immediately.
-
Looks like we're in the esophagus,
-
a tube that runs from your mouth to...
-
the stomach!
-
Oh happy day! Food!
-
Now we can watch it be digested. Lucky us.
-
Look at the food! Look at it!
-
Right here in the stomach, gastric juices are starting to break it down.
-
It's amazing. Gastric juices?
-
Yes, siree. Gastric juice isn't like orange or grape juice.
-
Your stomach secretes a mix of acid and enzymes
-
that start digesting the food you eat.
-
The stomach also churns the partially digested food,
-
turning it into a lovely, liquidy mush.
-
Then the food moves into the small intestine.
-
Bye-bye, handsome.
-
Handsome? That combo of chewed up food and gastric juices was gross. Well, then you're gross.
-
Excuse me? You've seen this combo of chewed up food and gastic juices erupt from your own body
-
if you've ever thrown up
-
Oh, I have seen that before.
-
Nurb vomit sparkles with all the colors in the rainbow.
-
Blah!
-
I think it's time to move on to the small intestine.
-
Here we are. The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum.
-
And it's where liquified food goes next. Duodenum. Duodenum.Duo-denum!
-
There are more digestive juices found here, like bile.
-
Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder until your body needs it.
-
Bile and enzymes from the pancreas break down the
-
proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
-
It's here that the body absorbs the vitamins and
-
minerals from the food.
-
Whoa!
-
Welcome to the large intestine!
-
Hold on. If the small intestine does all that,
-
why do you even need a large intestine?
-
My dear Chloe, of course you need a large intestine.
-
The large intestine has an important job to absorb water
-
and salt. So what's left?
-
At the end of the digestive process, anything that hasn't been absorbed
-
is considered waste, which your body doesn't need. In other words,
-
poop.
-
Poop!
-
Nurb, what's that sound? Uh-oh.
-
Whoa!
-
How am I going to tell my diary about this? Just say, today, me and my best buddy Nurb
-
went on a journey through the digestive system,
-
and we had, the time of our lives. Uh...OK.
