Film Visual Sounds and Techniques Kahoot

We have recently started working on a film study in English. For this film study, we watched Dragonheart. For 5 weeks we choose 1 task out of 4 options based around the category. For the first one, we are looking at Film Visual and Sound Techniques. It is currently only able to be played by myself (because it is being stupid) so here is just a simple screenshot of it. Once it is ready I will put a link up.

Digestive system

The Human Digestive System

First stage: The Oesophagus

The Digestive system is the process of our body taking in food, absorbing the nutrients and then sending the remains out of our body. This system is crucial in our body, starting right at our mouth and ending at our anus. When you eat food it is rolled into a ball by your tongue and then moistened by your salivary glands. Once this process is done the ball of food is sent down the Oesophagus. The Oesophagus uses muscles to push the food down and stop the food from coming back up while the muscles below the food widen the tube for the food to go through. The Oesophagus also aids in breaking down the nutrients a bit, mostly Carbohydrates with Gastric juices and Enzymes. This is the first process of the digestive system done.

Second Stage: The Stomach

The next part of the digestive system involves the Stomach where the food is transported to through the Oesophagus. The Stomach has a special type of acid inside it, this acid is generally called "Stomach acid" however its scientific name is "Hydrochloric acid (HCI)". To prevent the acid from burning through your Stomach Mucus is added as a protective layer. The Stomach acts like a giant elastic bag allowing it to expand when a large amount of food comes down the Esophagus allowing for big amounts to be quickly digested. The Stomach helps break down some nutrients as well as digesting the food. The main nutrients affected by this is Protein. Once the Stomach has digested the food it reaches the intestines as a creamy paste called Chyme.

Third Stage: The Intestines

The 2 intestines are the small Intestines and the large Intestines. Really their names should be swapped around as the small intestines cover most of the area with the large Intestines only covering the outer area. The small intestines begin to absorb the nutrients into the bloodstream where they are then distributed across the body. The food is then given to the large Intestines where the remaining nutrient-free waste is drained out until it had no water left. The waste is then transported to the Rectum where it is stored until it is ready to be shoved forcibly out of the Anus. The small Intestines are covered in things called villi. Vili ensures fast nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.

Fourth Stage: The Liver

The Liver is where the nutrients are first transported to. Here they are either converted into energy, sent to muscles or stored for later use (creating fat in the body). A liquid is produced called bile which goes to the bile duct and is then realised to stop any acids from the Stomach escaping into the digestive system and basically burning you inside out. The Liver also helps break down lipids (fats and oils).
