The Digestive System

Hi, I am a sandwich. I have chicken smoke, letuce, cheese, tomato and omelet inside me. As a food I know that I had to be eaten by everybody and have to gave tham energy and some vitamin. Come and join my adventure to the digestive system from the first until the end.

Aww!! She started to bite me with her strong and solid teeth. After I turned into small parts the tounge help me to get down the esophagus.

Now I was in the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube that connected your mouth to your stomach. Your esophagus is a muscular tube and the mucles in the esophagus helps me to get down the stomach.

I was in the stomach now. In the stomach I get mixed up with some liquids until I turned into something like water. After that I went to the small

intestine.

Now I was in the small intestine. The small intestine is about 20 - 25 feet long. I was very dizzy being in the small intestine because it was twisted, folded, and turned many times. It was like a big bowl of spaghetti, but the small intestine was more organized.

After that I went to the large intestine. The job of the large intestine is to remove the water from the undigested food. After the water has been removed from the undigested food it turns into solid waste. The solid waste collects in the rectum then finally leave the body through an opening called anus.

That is the end of my adventure to the digestive system.

The Facts:

1. After food has been all mashed up in your stomach, it's called chyme ("kime")!

2. An adult stomach can hold approximately 1.5 liters of materials.

3. The stomach's wall is lined with three layers of powerful muscles.

4. The small intestine is a long tube about 1 and a half to 2 inches around, and about 22 feet long.

5. Food stays in your stomach for 2 to 3 hours.

6. The large intestine is about 3 to 4 inches around, and is about 5 feet long.

7. We get two sets of teeth. Our 20 baby teeth are replaced at around 6 - 7 years of age with our 32 adult teeth.

8. You get a new stomach lining every three days!

9. Your body makes about one liter of saliva every day.

10. Your large intestine takes your undigested food paste and turns into solid waste by removing the water.

Malaysia

Last holiday I went to Malaysia with my grandpa and my aunt. We stayed there for 8 days. Above, there is a picture of chinese statue. I have fun in Penang, especially when I played with my uncle's son and daughther. My uncle gave me a bracelet and I gave his son a game boy. In Penang we went to the temple for Budhist. There is a huge statue over there.

After that we went to the Butterfly Park. The butterfly was around the park it flies everywhere. There is a lot of Salamander and dry insects over there.
The Butterfly Park was a wonderful place to visit.

That is my holiday! Hope you enjoy reading it.
