The Food Factory

Science Factfile

  • When you eat, your body digests the food so your cells can use it to make energy.
  • Acids and enzymes eat away at the surface of food to break it down.
  • The small intestine is where food is broken down into molecules tiny enough for the body cells to use.
  • In the villi are tiny tubes that carry blood called VESSELS. Food molecules are taken into these blood vessels. Once the food is in the blood, it can travel all over the body.

  1. Thanks! This helped a lot since I had to finish an anatomy project. Every little bit counts! :)

  2. Well, Caylee, maybe you just haven’t read the right book yet. :) Tell me the name of a book or two that you DID like, if there are any, or subjects you are interest in…and maybe I can suggest a book to like.
