                                                        Digestive System

                                                      

Function:  It is a system where it breaks down your food and bring nutrients to the rest of your body. It transforms

Organs: Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach,Small intestine and Large intestine.  It is a chain of organs that is used to convert food into molecules that go into your bloodstream and of course fuels the body. It starts with the mouth. The mouth of course makes your food small enough to fit down the esophagus. It also makes the small intestine and the large intestines job easier. Now the esophagus. The esophagus is just a pathway for all this grinned up food to go down. It also makes sure that the food goes down the right tube.  Once it goes down the esophagus it goes to the stomach. Your stomach has acids that breaks down the solid foods into a molecules form. This way they can be used in the next step of the process. The small intestine is where most of your food is absorbed. 90% of whats in your food gets taken in this process. So basically the small intestine gets the minerals and nutrients that's in your food.Your large intestine takes in the 10% left from the small intestine. It collect the water and the useless materials. This is where the digestive system ended and starts to work with the urinary system.

System Interactions: The digestive systems works closely with the Urinary system. The one organ that makes this possible is the large intestine. It organizes the waste and water into the body. It puts the pieces it does not need or use away into the urinary system so it can be taken out of the body. If something is useless it is taken away. That's why we produce waste. Without one another they would fail.

Analogy: 

Your digestive system is like worms. Worms jobs are the sort what it eats and turn it into something for them to survive then they just waste the rest. There job is just like our digestive system yet they are always doing it. How you ever wonder where soil comes from. That is what a worm does to compost after it went through its digestive system. They are a perfect example of digestion because it is one of their main goals in life.

Structure and Function:

The mouth. The shape of the mouth is as if you have an apple and that is about the size and general shape. Your mouth is about 45-50 mm wide.  The shape of your mouth is and oval mosty. This is why even if you have a huge mouthful of food you still have your cheeks which as like pockets of either to put food on either side of for you to breath. It is probably designed like this for all us human who think stuffing our faces with marshmallows is a good idea. The placement of your mouth is very important. The placement of your mouth is easily accessible and is not straining to reach with the range of motion that you have i n your arms. It also is always visible so that means you can easy access it. Now why is eating so important? The mouth is literally designed for taking it so what's the big deal? Your mouth is the starting point to of course the digestive system. Without this system your cells would get too tired to function meaning you would not survive. You can only last 30 days without completely shutting down. The mouth is designed for the mass consumption yet also for your safety.
