Kidneys:
Your kidneys measure about 4 5 inches long and work to purify the blood and eliminate waste in your body.
The blood flow to the kidneys is higher than the blood flow to your liver, brain, and
even your heart, in fact, your kidneys purify all the blood in your entire body about 400 times a day using tiny filters called nephrons.
Once they filter your blood, kidneys get rid of any waste by producing urine.
Most people produce about l.5 litres of urine a day!
Stomach:
An adult stomach can hold up to half a pound of food and drink! Your stomach is your immune system's first defence.
It produces hydrochloric acid to kill any bacteria or viruses that may enter your body through your food.
This acid doesn't hurt your stomach though because there is a layer of mucous lining the inside A new mucous layer is produced every two weeks to protect your stomach.
Your stomach only starts the digestive process by breaking down food into smaller pieces.
Most of your food is digested in the small intestines.
Liver:
The Liver performs over 500 different functions! A few of its most important jobs include filtering toxins out of your blood,
making and storing fuel in the form of glucose (made from foods you eat), and producing a digestive Juice called bile that helps your body process fat.
Your liver also absorbs Vitamins, helps break down medicines, and helps your blood clot if you get hurt.
You can’t live Without a liver, but if you ever lost part of it, it would grow back!
Intestines:
After your food leaves your stomach it travels through long coiled tubes called intestines.
You have two lands of intestines; small and large. Your food travels through the small intestines first where it is digested
and all the vitamins and nutrients are absorbed. This takes between 1-4 hours.
Next, It travels through the large Intestines where water is absorbed before the food leaves your body as waste (poop). Food can
be in the large intestines anywhere from 18 hours to two days!
