(in-TES-tin) The portion of the digestive tract extending from the stomach to the anus.
structure located posterior to the digestive gland and anterior to the anus; site of most digestion
contraction of L. quod intus est = that which is inside; L. intestina = the guts, entrails (Celsus, c. 10 AD).
The tubelike organ that receives the products of digestion from the stomach.
A section of the digestive system; includes both small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and large intestine (colon, cecum and rectum).
a long, tube-shaped organ that extends from the stomach to the anus; absorbs food and water and passes the waste products of digestion as feces
The long, tube-like organ in the abdomen that links the stomach to the rectum and absorbs food nutrients. It consists of the small and large intestines (also known as the small and large bowel).
Latin intestinum = the digestive tube beyond the stomach.
The tubular organ of the digestive tract.
a body organ that absorbs nutrients from food and prepares unwanted matter for removal from your body. The intestine connects the stomach to the anus
the part of the alimentary (digestive) canal between the stomach and the anus.
Portion of the digestive system through which digested food passes.
The tube that goes from the stomach to the anus. The intestine, composed of the small intestine and the large intestine, is involved in digestion. (Cancer)
The alimentary canal beyond and below the stomach. It is divided into two main parts, the small and large intestine.
The part of the digestive system that transports food from the stomach to the anus. The small intestine links the stomach to the large intestine and is the primary area where nutrients from food are absorbed; the large intestine (sometimes called the colon) reaches from the small intestine to the anus. It is the primary area for water reabsorption and preparing stool for elimination.
Is made up of a large and small intestine. The intestine is a long tube organ and helps with digestion.
in- test-in Small intestine is anorgan used to digest and absorb food. Large intestine removes water from unwanted food.
Also called bowel or gut (see large intestine; small intestine).
digestive organs found in the abdomen, also known as either the large or small bowel. The small intestine removes nutrients from food to be used for energy, while the large intestine absorbs water from the digested food and processes it into stool.
The portion of the digestive system that links the stomach to the rectum.
The intestine is the tube that extends from the stomach to the anus.
The long, tubelike organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion; the intestine is comprised of the small intestine and the large intestine, which consists of the colon and rectum.
The long, tube-shaped organ in the abdomen, also called the "bowel", that completes the process of digestion. There are both a large and small intestine.
Major parts of the gastrointestinal tract where a significant amount of digestion and absorption occurs (small intestine) and where waste is prepared for elimination (large intestine).
The bowels, which are part of the food digestive system. There is the small intestine (the duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and the large intestine (the colon and rectum).
(in-TES-tin) The long, tube-shaped organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion. The intestine has two parts, the small intestine and the large intestine. Also called the bowel.
The long, tube-shaped organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion. There is both a large intestine and a small intestine. Also called the bowel.
The long, tubelike organ in the abdomen that completes the process of digestion. It consists of the small and large intestines.
The part of the digestive system that extends from the stomach to the anus. It is divided into two parts, the small intestine, and the large intestine.
Comprised of the small and large intestines; it is the tube like organ which completes the final stage of the digestive process.
The part of the digestive system between the stomach and the anus that digests and absorbs food and water.
The portion of the digestive tract between the stomach and anus; it is the region where most of the nutrients and absorbed.
The gut swings to the left as the stomach, which in the region of the liver, becomes small intestine. The intestine has been reached when bile and pancreatic ducts become obvious.
Also called bowels, the portion of the digestive tract between the stomach and anus. In humans the intestine is divided into two major sections: the small intestine, which is about 6 m long, where the most extensive part of digestion occurs and where most food products are absorbed; and the large intestine, which has a larger diameter and is about 1.5 m long, where water is absorbed and from which solid waste material is excreted. Food and waste material are moved along the length of the intestine by rhythmic contractions of intestinal muscles; these contractions are called peristaltic movements.
The tube involved in digestion and extending from the stomach to the anus. Consists of the small intestine and the large intestine.
In anatomy, the intestine is the portion of the alimentary canal extending from the stomach to the anus and, in humans and other mammals, consists of two segments, the small intestine and the large intestine (or colon). In humans, the small intestine is further subivided into the duodenum, jejunum and ileum while the large intestine is subdivided into the cecum, colon and rectum.
