The Excretory System is the system used by your body to export waste from your body. This is done by eating food and then releasing it in the form of urine and feces.

Part: The mouth Structure: Tongue
Function: Breaks down food so it is easier to digest
Part:The Esophagus  Structure: Looks like the tube things at the bank Function: Moves the food through the tube
Part: Stomach Structure: Center of your body, big tube like Function: Breaks down food
Part: Small Intestine Structure: Looks like a brain but just looks like a wrinkled tube  Function: Absorbs nutrients
Part: Large Intestine Structure: Also a wrinkled tube Function: Where waste exits

First, you begin by eating a tad bit of food. It can be anything. You can choose two things:

A hamburger with a ghost pepper positioned on the meat, along with onions, and beans on the side.

Or

A glass of ginger ale, spiced to perfection, sold for $50 for its wonderful taste.

# data[].attributes.body
The ghost peppers first burn in your mouth, generating a feeling as though your mouth is burning away. Your taste buds will release chemicals to cool your mouth, but it will barely work. I have a friend who has tried it and they stated that they sat crying in bed for around an hour, because the pepper was SO HOT!

But after that, the pepper and the meat will go down your esophagus, towards your stomach. After being broken down by stomach acid, the food will go into your small intestine, where the nutrients will be absorbed and sent into the bloodstream.

After that, the blood will go to your kidneys, where the waste will be filtered from your blood and sent down the large intestine, towards the bladder, and then out the anal cavity. So, chances are, you will be sitting in pain on the toilet for an hour, holding onto the hand of a fellow family member and signing your own will to be given to your siblings.

One, you shouldn't have wasted all that money on a single glass of ginger ale. Jeez! Ginger Ale is crap anyway!

But besides the point, after you swallow Satan's medicine, the liquid travels down your esophagus towards the stomach, where the nutrients are taken from the broken down food, and it is absorbed by the small intestine. The nutrients are sent to the blood and filtered by the kidneys. Except, this time, the waste and impurities from the blood are sent down a different tube towards the urinal gland, and then exit the body in urine.

We eat about 1102 lbs each year

1.7 liters of saliva is produced each day

The esophagus is 25 cm long

Structure: Group of organs that take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. Involves moving oxygen to cells and tissues. Involves the lungs, nose, and mouth.

Function:  Allows us to breathe which allows us to live. Works by inhaling oxygen into our body, which moves into the blood from our lungs. The blood with oxygen goes to all the cells in the body, which allow the cells to survive. When they exhale, carbon dioxide is released from the body.

Nose, Pharynx, and Larynx

When the air first enters your body, it goes into your nose, then into the pharynx, which is the throat. There are two tubes that lead to the stomach, one is the larynx, where the air travels to make you speak.

Bronchioles and Alveoli

Alveoli is like tiny sacs that are surrounded by blood vessels. Bronchioles lead into the alveoli. The air contains gases, which move across the walls of the alveoli, and when you breathe, air goes in and out of it.

Trachea

Connected with the larynx. Air flows through trachea and into the lungs. The trachea splits into two little branches called bronchi, where each one leads to their own lung.

Asthma: Airways in throat are more inflamed and smaller than normal, which reduces the amount of air that gets in and out of the lungs

Pneumonia: Inflammation of lungs caused by bacteria. Alveoli fills with too much fluid so that the person can not take in enough oxygen so they suffocate.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The right lung is just a little big larger than the left lung
2. A person who is sleeping breathes 12 to 15 times per minute
3. Your right lung has 3 lobes but your left lung only has 2
4. The surface area of lungs is about the same size as a tennis court

Lymphedema:
Swelling of body tissues caused by a blockage/injury to lymph vessels. Lymph vessels can’t drain lymph from areas and then the result is swelling

Atherosclerosis:
Affects the blood and makes the artery walls harden because of a buildup of cholesterol and other lipids which causes blood vessels to become less elastic so blood cannot flow through the vessels as easily and can cause a heart attack

Filariasis:
Affects lymph vessels and is when thread like worms called nematodes enter the lymphatic vessels and block them preventing lymph from moving around the body
