Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace
the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in
the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the
action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice
which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is
mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the
small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the
food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch
projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the scaled group,
Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are not slimy.

friction as the snake slithers along the ground.

the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up. Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in
tress, some live in water, but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and
in old logs. A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes.
The Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs.
