What is a FART?

What is a fart you ask? WELL. A fart is a very stinky and smelly hunk of air that comes out of your bum. BUT what is a fart? What is it made of? Why do you cut the cheese?


WELL.......


When you eat food, you also swallow air, which contains gases like nitrogen and oxygen. Small amounts of these gases travel through your digestive system as you digest your food.  When a person swallows too much air or eats foods that the human digestive system cannot digest easily, it becomes trapped in the stomach. The only way for this excess gas to exit the body is through the anus as a FART. Other gases like hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane are made when food is broken down in the large intestine. All of these gases in the digestive system have to escape somehow, so they come out as farts.


The gas that makes your farts stink is the hydrogen sulfide gas. This gas contains sulfur which causes farts to have a smelly odor. The more sulfur rich your diet, the more your farts will stink.


A scientific name for a fart is flatus or flatulence.

What the hell cardiac spincter???

I love this picture way too much.

This is funny because we're going to playland and we're learning about the digestive system



Marks Reflection

I feel my mark definitely reflects my learning. I've grown up in a biology family,so I find learning about biology very easy and interesting. I don't spend my whole day studying and working my butt off, I pay attention in class and do all of my work. Having a great interest in what I am learning about definitely plays a role in my mark. I am happy to sit in class and learn something new each day and having a good mark is a bonus. I am going to keep leaning and applying a lot of the things I've learned to my everyday life. I am going to come to class with an open mind ready to learn awesome things.
