Epididymis: one of a pair of long, tightly coiled tubes on top of each testis
Small Intestion
The structure that is very long and coiled up in your abdomen is the intestines, specifically the small and large intestines. The small intestine is approximately 20 feet long and is coiled to fit within the abdominal cavity, playing a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption. The large intestine, or colon, is shorter but also coiled and is responsible for absorbing water and forming waste. Together, they are essential components of the digestive system.
A coiled and long typhlosole increases the surface area available for nutrient absorption in the intestine. This allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from the food ingested by the organism.
The long coiled tube in worms where many eggs are stored is called the ovary. It is an essential reproductive organ in female worms that produces and stores eggs until they are released for fertilization.
A shorter length
The average adult bowel is about 5 feet long, coiled up inside the abdominal cavity. The length can vary from person to person, but it's essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients from food.
No, DNA molecules are not the largest in the body. The largest structures in the body are cells, which are composed of various organelles, including the nucleus where DNA is housed. DNA itself is a long, thread-like molecule that is tightly coiled to fit within the nucleus of a cell.
A coiled piece of DNA is called a plasmid, found in prokaryotic cells.
Trading out body organs - depending on which one, it could take anywhere from 4 - 48 hours.
Water typically stays in your body for about 2-3 hours after you drink it. It is absorbed quickly into your bloodstream and then distributed throughout your body to hydrate your cells and organs.
