Everyone does it, even if nobody talks about it — farting is a totally normal part of being human! The scientific word for a fart is FLATULENCE, and it happens when GAS builds up inside your digestive system. Your DIGESTIVE system is the long path food travels through your body after you eat. Gas gets trapped in there, and when there is too much, your body lets it out. The study of how your body processes food and makes gas is part of a branch of science called BIOLOGY.
