Why does my stomach growl?
You're sitting in class, or on the bus, or anywhere really quiet, and suddenly your stomach lets out a long, rumbling growl. Everyone hears it. You weren't even that hungry. So what's going on in there?
Your digestive system is basically a long, muscular tube that runs from your mouth down to your intestines. And like any tube, it's got air in it — air you swallow when you eat, drink, or even just breathe.
