Question by superchick30823: Help with creative names for organs of the digestion system?
I need to make a creative story for my biology class in which food takes a trip through the digestion system. I need help thinking of names for the places throughout the digestive system. (ex: Mouth Rushmore)
Here are the organs/places I need help with:
~esophagus
~stomach
~small intestine
~large intestine
~anus
~pancreas
~liver
~gall bladder
any help would be appreciated! =] Thanks!!

Answer by Katy W
My anatomy teacher tends to call most of that “the food tube”
Stomach “the acid lake”
small intestine “villi villa” because of those finger looking projections that absorb nutrients
large intestine “the body’s sewers”
liver “detox center” because it cleans toxins from the blood
pancreas “mission control center” because it sends out hormones that control some digestive functions
Sorry I didn’t come up with names for all of them, but I hope at least one of these helps.
