This story is dedicated to my second period anatomy and physiology class.
My name is Chip and it has been my life duty to pass through a person's digestive system. I am a little bit nervous but I am really excited. I've been looking forward to this day for as long as I can remember.
Peter went to the convenience store to grab a bag of potato chips. He chose my bag. Peter is really hungry so I think he is going to open the bag and eat as soon as he can.
Peter finally opened the bag. I am sitting with my entire family and Peter is about to choose me. I can't wait!
Peter picked me! He is about to put me in his mouth.
I have reached his mouth. He has pearly white teeth in his mouth which help grind me up. His slimy tongue gets to sense my salty flavor.
The gooey saliva helps make me moist so that I could turn into bolus. Bolus is food that has just been chewed and turned into a ball. Saliva also breaks down my nutrients, even though I don't have many.
When I am being swallowed, the epiglottis covers Peter's windpipe so that I don't accidentally go there instead of the esophagus.
When I am in the esophagus, it does this wavelike motion that helps me move down, towards Peter's stomach. It is called peristalsis.
Now that I am in his stomach, I have fallen into the gastric juices. They help absorb nutrients. It burns!
When the bolus is mechanically and chemically broken down, I turn into chyme.
