00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
You

2
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,400
Oops

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,040
Excuse me. Oh

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,720
Hello friends. Have you ever wondered where does the food go once it enters your body?

5
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Sorry, well worry no more because I'll tell you all about the human digestive system

6
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,880
Come on what are you waiting for?

7
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,760
zoom in

8
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,800
Digestion is a simple process

9
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:53,840
Well large insoluble food particles are broken down into smaller water soluble molecules

10
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,040
So that they can be absorbed by blood and give energy to different parts of our body

11
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,120
The process of digestion has a few stages and I'll take you through all of them

12
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,280
come

13
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Chewing is the first stage of the digestive system

14
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,920
When you chew your food the food particles break down into little pieces that are easier to swallow

15
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,800
The saliva which contains a lot of enzymes

16
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Mixes with those food particles and helps break down those food particles even more

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,880
You

18
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Once you have completely chewed your food the tongue helps to push the food particles down your throat

19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600
This process is called

20
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,840
Swallowing the food travels through a long pipe called

21
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Esophagus also known as the food pipe

22
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:11,160
When the food particles have traveled through the food pipe their next destination is the stomach

23
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,800
Where those particles hang out for approximately four hours?

24
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,840
The stomach releases a lot of acids and enzymes

25
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:27,600
Which further break down the food particles so that these particles can be absorbed by your body an

26
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,520
Enzyme called pepsin present in the stomach helps break down the proteins

27
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,240
Oh

28
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:41,960
And a lot of bacteria are killed by a superhero the stomach so that we don't fall sick

29
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,840
You

30
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Destination next the small intestine

31
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,720
Once the food particles reach the small intestine a lot of juices from the liver and pancreas

32
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:15,200
Help break down those particles the liver secretes bile which helps break down fats and the pancreas

33
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,360
Releases other enzymes to help digest all kinds of food particles

34
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,400
Now that the food particles are broken down the small intestine

35
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,640
Absorbs them and transfers them to our body through blood

36
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080
You

37
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:52,560
The particles that are not absorbed by the small intestine reach the large intestine now the large intestine

38
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Absorbs water and other particles and sends the waste material out of your body

39
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,640
trivia time

40
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Did you know that a large intestine produces antibodies that help us boost our immunity?

41
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,680
You

42
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:26,400
When your face becomes red due to blushing

43
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
The lining of your stomach becomes red, too

44
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,160
So eat healthy digest healthy and live healthy tune in next time for more fun facts

00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,440
