digestive system [information over pictures] [2b]

Here is a picture reminding you of where the different parts of the digestive system are situated in the body.	A reminder of the labelled diagram showing the different parts of the digestive system.	The liver processes and purifies the blood containing nutrients absorbed from the small intestine.
The large intestine soaks up water and changes the waste food from liquid into poo.	The muscular squeezing of the intestine is called peristalsis. Don't worry about the name but you can see it happening in this animation.	The rectum stores the stools [lumps of poo] until you go to the toilet.
