24 H5P – DAD Content – Metalinguistic awareness – Analogies – Video Esophagus / Water Slide When thinking about digestion, the function of the esophagus can be compared to going down a waterslide and landing in a pool. The food slides down the esophagus tube and lands in the stomach. Mouth / Garbage Disposal When thinking about digestion, the function of the mouth can be compared to a garbage disposal. You scrap the food scraps into the sink, run the water and turn on the switch. The food gets chopped up into smaller pieces and goes down the drain. Stomach / Blender When thinking about digestion, the function of the stomach can be compared to a blender. After putting different foods in the blender you close the lid and turn it on. It spins and breaks the food into even smaller pieces, it becomes a liquid. The stomach uses muscles to change the food pieces into liquid too.
