[Break] And this “Peristalsis” hear Keeps on till poop leaves our rear But firstly, food will it send To Stomach, with its J-shaped bend [Break] Whose muscles mix, churn, and grind And potent chemicals we find For, stomach does produce From its lining “Gastric Juice” [Break] Its hydrochloric acid “Dee-natures” pro-teens, and Unlocks Pepsin enzyme All turns to messy “Chyme” [Break] A rich, thick, acidic paste Nutrient and peptide-laced To small intess-teen this will go Star of the digestion show [Break] At around six meters long The label “small” seems wrong But unlike some else organs’ worth Here length matters more than girth [Break] The small intess-teen comes In distinct segments three And to digestion process It contributes notably [Break] For chemical digestion We have the Duo-dee-numm For nutrient absorption Je-joo-numm and I-lee-umm [Break] Into the Duo-dee-numm Byle from liver, gall-bladder Works with enzymatic juices That the pancreas produces [Break] Fats will byle emulsify Globules turned to tiny drops For larger surface area Lets Lie-payze break fats quicker [Break] Ammi-layze acts on carbs Trypsin on pro-teens And alka-lie by-carbonate Helps Chyme acidity negate [Break] Then when all that work is done Comes nutrient absorption Through the intess-teen walls That blood to cells then hauls [Break] As for what else might remain The large intess-teen will obtain From girth not length it claims fame And “Co-lonn” is its other name [Break] The Digestive System Means of transformation Of macro polymers To micro monno-murrs Through methods physical And those chemical Like chewing / Mastication Hydrolyzing enzyme action [Break] Thereby carbs to glucose go Pro-teens to acids amino Which into blood diffuse Sent around for cells to use [Break] Extraction and absorption Of water, yes, of course But large intess-teen also Is key production source [Break] Of essential vitta-mins Bio-tinn, Fo-late, K For fibers indigestible Are bacteria buffet [Break] So be sure to nourish Your friendly gut biome We are to trillions A place they would call Home [Break] Let’s end the journey though With water mostly gone This fecal formation Now moves to the rectum [Break] Nerve impulses trigger The urge to defecate Poop goes out the Anus With its dual sphincter gate [Break] The Digestive System Means of transformation Of macro polymers To micro monno-murrs Through methods physical And those chemical Like chewing / Mastication Hydrolyzing enzyme action [Break] Thereby carbs to glucose go Pro-teens to acids amino Which into blood diffuse Sent around for cells to use
