PINCHO DE TORTILLA
The Digestion
Actions
Swallowing
First, our tongue helps to push food into the back of our throat. Then there are special throat muscles that force the food down into a long tube that leads to our stomach, called the esophagus. The food doesn't* just fall down the pipe, muscles push the food along until it gets to our stomach. At the same time all this is going on, a flap blocks off our windpipe making sure food doesn't go the wrong way.**
Chewing
Chewing is one of the first stages of the digestive system. When you chew your food it breaks up in big pieces then into little pieces, so it makes it easier to digest and swallow.
Organs
The Teeth
The function of the teeth is to tear, cut and grind food.
-
The Pharynx
The function of the pharynx is to help eat and breath. It is a passage that leads from the mouth and nose to the esophagus and the larynx.
The Salivary Glands
The Salivary Glands produce saliva when you smell the food! The amount of saliva increases as you taste it. It is mostly made out of water and it helps us chew, taste and swallow the food. Saliva contains enzymes which break down the food we eat.
The Esophagus
The esophagus is a muscular tube which forms a path from the mouth to the stomach. Most muscles contract and relax to move food down through to the stomach.
The Mouth
The mouth is the first organ of the digestive system. It is the entry point for food, and it is the place where saliva mixes with food. It's the location of the tongue and teeth. Its top part is called the soft palate and helps move food along to the esophagus.
