NARRATION
Meet Jerry. He loves cookies & milk. But he's lactose intolerant. Have a cookie, Jerry
INTRO [Mr. D]
So many systems - nervous to digestion
Think they don't interact? That's a misconception
This group of cells. This group of cells
They work together and they do it so well
This group of cell. This group of cells
In a tissue in an organ in a system
VERSE ONE [Tom]
Tissues? We're talking about tissues?
When cells come together and they figure out their issues
Making up the organs. Fluid flowing
Valves pushing on open. I know you already know it
But your heart is just part of system - cardiovascular
A system in a system and just so you don't miss 'em
It's interacting with the brain
Kidneys, lungs, skin, muscles, and my gut
Drink some milk. Drink it fast
Even though I digest it in my mouth and my stomach
Lactose is gonna test me
From the stomach to intestines (first small then large)
A bunch of E. Coli were resting now they're in charge
Take that sugar and they're making CO2
Make some gas bubbles. Make 'em all say "pew.”
Gut bacteria - oh so important!
You could argue they could be their own dang organ
BRIDGE
I chop, they chop, we chop that food down
That gut bacteria 'll chop that food down
I chop, they chop, we chop that food down
E. Coli in the system gonna chop that food down
