SCRIPT FOR: Journey to the Digestive System

FADE IN:

Ohh my gosh. I’m hungry.

Do you know the reason why we need to eat?

Or are you curious as to what happens to the food that you ate once it

enters your mouth?

If you do, then come along with me as we journey to the world of the

digestive system.

Hi I’m teacher Albert. And I will be your guide for today’s lesson.

The digestive system is a network of organs that helps you digest and

absorb nutrition from your food (“Digestive System,” 2023). Because food plays

a vital role for the survival of an organism, the energy needed to carry out life

processes must be properly obtained.

So where does digestion start?

Digestion starts in the mouth. In the mouth both mechanical and chemical

digestion occur. Mechanical digestion is the process where food is broken down

1
into smaller pieces with the help of the teeth and other ancillary digestive organs

like the tongue and gums.

On the other hand, chemical digestion is digestion with the use of

enzymes that speed up chemical reactions. Specifically, our saliva contains

salivary amylase an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates.

After the food has been ingested in the mouth, where does it go next?

Food that passes in the mouth will now go to the esophagus. The

esophagus moves the partially digested food, now called bolus, down to the

stomach through a series of muscular contractions within the esophagus called

peristalsis.

Ohh I see! That’s how the esophagus works. Then what happens to the

food once it enters the stomach?

Once the food enters the stomach, chemical digestion continues. The

stomach is a hollow organ or container that holds the food while it is being mixed

with the digestive enzymes. Enzymes such as protease and lipase help break

down proteins and lipids. Moreover, the stomach also secretes a very strong

acid, the gastric acid, which further breaks down food into smaller pieces.

Digested food in the stomach is now called chyme.

The chyme now passes through the small intestine where digestion ends.

The small intestine is approximately 22-feet long and breaks down food using

enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the liver. It is made up of three

segments—duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum continuously does

the breaking-down process while the jejunum and ileum are responsible for the

absorption of water and nutrients into the bloodstream.

The journey of food doesn’t stop in the small intestine. After absorption

and assimilation of nutrients, the food now called stool or waste, enters the large

intestine which is approximately six feet long. Reabsorption of water takes place

2
in the colon and good bacteria perform several useful functions such as the

production of vitamins and the eradication of harmful bacteria.

Now the journey of food will come to end. Stool from the colon will be

passed to the rectum and anus for excretion. Excretion is the process of

eliminating digestive waste from the body through the rectum and anus. Both

the rectum and anus are made up of voluntary muscles that help contain and

hold the waste. Otherwise, we would be pooping involuntarily. And that’s

disgusting!

And that ends our journey to the digestive system.

Always remember that the food that you eat gives you energy, so eat

healthy and always stay healthy. Goodbye!
