As 5th grade students continue to study the human body, they used everyday objects to model the digestive system. Here are a few of the facts the students found particularly interesting:
-The small intestine is about 7 meters long.
-The large intestine is actually shorter than the small intestine, but larger in diameter.
-Humans have an appendix even though it doesn't serve any real purpose.
