Raven looks at the soupy model.
"Does food stay in the stomach?" she asks.
Rocket guesses yes.
Nova hints, "Food has one more long tube."
Next, soupy food moves into a long tube.
This tube is called the small intestine.
It is long and packed inside you.
Food gets broken down even more there.
Food has good parts your body needs.
In the long tube, good parts go into the blood.
Your heart pumps blood all around your body.
So the blood carries food bits everywhere.
Parts your body cannot use leave the body.
They leave when you go to the bathroom.
