The oral cavity receives food (just as the gates of the theme park will let guests in) chews and mixes it with saliva and then begins the swallowing process. ]]> 2017-05-25 22:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173913111 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173913642 The salivary glands produce saliva, which keeps the mouth and other parts of the digestive system moist. It also helps break down carbohydrates (with salivary amylase) and lubricates the passage of food down from the pharynx to the esophagus to the stomach. These act as misters because it wets the guests coming through just as saliva coats the throat to help food pass down. ]]> 2017-05-25 23:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173913642 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173913875 Food enters the mouth and is immediately broken down into smaller pieces by our teeth. Saliva makes it easier to chew and swallow foods, it contains enzymes that aid in the digestion of carbohydrates. These security gates act as teeth because they filter groups of people into the park one by one "breaking down the big groups to make it smaller and easier to get through."]]> 2017-05-25 23:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173913875 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173914793 The tongue and other muscles push the food into the pharynx.  The tongue can turn the chewed food into a bolus and push it into the esophagus, from where the food will proceed further into the stomach. This acts as the lines of a theme park because it pushes the food down to the pharynx just as the lines will push guests in the right directions to the rides they hope to get to.]]> 2017-05-25 23:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173914793 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173915096 Its muscular walls function in the process of swallowing and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus. The log ride sends passengers from the top to the bottom(esophagus) with the help of the water underneath(salivary amylase) without the log would not move and get stuck.]]> 2017-05-25 23:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173915096 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173916372 The epiglottis is a flexible flap at the superior end of the larynx in the throat. It acts as a switch between the larynx and the esophagus to permit air to enter the airway to the lungs and food to pass into the gastrointestinal tract. The operator controls which pass holder gets togo through the regular line or the V.I.P line. Once you produce your ticket he will send you through the right line.]]> 2017-05-25 23:44:49 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173916372 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173916966 The esophagus is a tube that connects the throat (pharynx) and the stomach. The esophagus is made of muscles that contract to move food to the stomach. The esophagus acts as a hellevator because it brings food to the stomach but it you throw that food up it goes back up that tract as well just like the ride will go up and down.]]> 2017-05-25 23:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173916966 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173917496 The cardiac sphincter that lies at the lower end of the esophagus acts like a valve that ensures unidirectional flow of ingested food. To be more precise, it is located between the distal end of the esophagus and the stomach. Also known as the lower esophageal sphincter, it opens and allows the food to enter the stomach. The ride attendant controls the flow of people moving in and out of the ride.

Ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine. It acts as a scrambler because it scrambles and moves all the food to digest.]]> 2017-05-26 00:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173918106 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173919518 The pyloric sphincter is a band of smooth muscle at the junction between the pylorus of the stomach and the duodenum of the small intestine. Acts as the door out of the scrambler to the food court because the valve controls the flow of partially digested food into the small intestine.]]> 2017-05-26 00:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173919518 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173919890 The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen. It plays an essential role in converting the food we eat into fuel for the body's cells. pancreatic amylase is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. The first aid tent lets people take a break, sit down and receive some aid. It will help guests if they had been out too long in the sun or ate some bad food. The pancreas neutralizes stored acid and keeps blood glucose levels normal. ]]> 2017-05-26 00:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/173919890 josiestar99 https://padlet.com/josiestar99/4n46jvjec1vl/wish/174518974 a large, reddish-brown, glandular organ located in the upper right side of the abdominal cavity, functioning in the secretion of bile and various metabolic processes. The rollercoaster acts as the liver because it spins and twists so much it forces people to vomit and empty their stomaches.
