The Small Intestine

1. Oh, how vile! They melt me with all this bile! Why must I get any smaller?
5. Whee! Down the slide and to the liver! Sometimes I'm stored as fat, so you don't shiver!
6. I am the quickest part of the journey because I'm so short.
7. Yum yum yum! Some fat droplets in my tum! For you, breaking down would be digestion but for me I have a different suggestion. What's the word for making fatty acids from fat?
8. Slow and steady wins the race! I make take the longest to absorb but this is only because I'm so large!
11. Thank you bile for all work! Now I must spend my days making something tiny and acidic, but at least I won't deplete ,which seems to be this job's only perk!
13. I'm like a shrink ray for vitamins you eat! Making them small enough to fit through the walls, then my work is complete!

2. We're the side characters of the alimentary tract but our roles are just as big
3. Food has no legs so this is where I come in! I help food to travel through the tube by squeezing and releasing like a caterpillar or a wave.
4. Shh, I'm sleeping! Be careful not to wake me up! Because when I'm awake, I'll get angry and eat these amino acids up!
9. I'm tiny and love to wave! I'm like a sidekick to a hero because I help the small intestine save!
10. I only move twice in my whole life: once from where I was born and again from where I was kept until it was time to work in the jejunum.
12. Ah, I'm melting! As horrible and squishy as I am, my name reminds me of the wind and looks like rhyme.
