Intestines
The intestines aid in the digestion and absorption of food and stretch from the stomach to the anus.

What is omental-mesenteric fat?
It is the protective fat layer which covers the intestines, just underneath all the skin layers of the abdomen.
What could cause yellow stool?
Yellow vomit is the result of having no liquid or food in your system. It is stomach bile, or acids, that line your stomach. When you are sick and cant keep anything down, this is what comes out.
How can you ease the passage of a hard and solid bowel movement?
If the stool is close to the rectal opening, you can, wearing rubber gloves, put some lubrication in there. Any sort of oil, Vaseline or even cooking oil if you have no medical lube.
You may also be able to re-shape the stool so it is thinner and more able to emerge. Or even break pieces off. Like the constipated mathematician, who worked it out with a pencil, maybe you could do the same. Be very careful introducing objects in there, of course.
If the stool is not close to the opening, in other words, if you are constipated, then pills from a chemist or doctor can help, over several hours.
If you know the position of the bowel as it passes round your stomach, you can gently massage the hard areas, which might assist in the movement.
And in the long term, you should look at your diet. If you have enough fibre in your diet then you shouldn't have problems with constipation. Are you eating enough fruit and vegetables? Can you cut down on fast food that has little fibre? Can you drink more water and less sugary drink? Wholemeal bread and brown rice are much better choices than white.
Stool fats, also known as fecal fats, or fecal lipids, are fats that are excreted in the feces.
yes crabs do have intestines because in order for them to have a digestive system you need intestines to help digest foods
If you are referring to the console housing inside the car, it is to allow you to change gear without having foot on brake, gently pull the small button and your shifter will release and move
How is the small intestine adapted for absorbing products if digestion?
If digestion is impaired by food intolerances, which may be a product of unknowingly repeatedly eating offending foods, it causes inflammation. The intestines then produce extra mucus to line the gut against the invading item(s). Seaweeds have mucilage in them, which, if your gut is already inflamed, may make them more difficult to absorb.
For food intolerances, be aware of how you feel after you eat something. If it doesn't feel quite right, stay away from it next time you eat and see if you feel a little bit better. If an offending item is in your digestive tract, it takes the body precisely 72 hours to completely discharge all remnants and not a second less (see "Food Combining Works" by Lee DuBelle).
It all starts when the liver gets overloaded. If digestion is overly challenged on a continual basis, the liver can get congested. If congested with the food byproducts it does not tolerate on a continual basis, it can become so congested that it backs up, becoming unable to do it's job of secreting adequate bile. Bile is critical to digesting fats. Therefore digestion can begin to suffer. If digestion cannot flow smoothly and clean out, opportunistic organisms that naturally reside in the body can take the opportunity to overgrow and can cause an intestinal infection to occur.
If food intolerances are in your life, I suggest you read up about "Leaky Gut" which is a reality for some people. Continual assault of non-agreeable foods causes a whole cascade of events that can eventually erode the lining of the intestines and cause minute particles of food molecules to pass through to the bloodstream instead of out through the digestive tract.
The best diet for the above is one of smaller amounts of whole grains (best to avoid glutens, especially for the first 2-6 months, depending on how bad your situation is and how strict you are with avoiding the offending foods), vegetables, lean meats and good quality oils such as flax or omega 3 fish oils and evening primrose oil.
If grains are not tolerated, there may be an infection (mold, bacterial, fungal, viral or parasital). Getting tested by a specialty lab such as Genova Diagnostics or other specialty lab can identify the invader. They test for a wide variety of unwanted organisms and tell you what natural and pharmaceutical remedies are sensitive to it. A qualified naturopathic physician can prescribe the lab tests for you. Cost can be $200.-250.00 but you can't wage dollar bills against your health if you can afford to try.
There are plenty of books out on "Candida yeast". If you are unfortunate enough to not be able to eat any grains without becoming sleepy and having sore eyes and a bloated belly that isn't digesting foods, get tested to see what is wrong. A diet that avoids vinegars, tomatoes, sugar from any source, white flour, dairy, fruit and caffeine will help and would be necessary in order to not feed the yeast if yeast is your problem. If it's not yeast but is another organism, some amount of carbohydrate can usually be tolerated. If it is yeast, yeast thrive on carbohydrates which eventually break down into sugars. In the case of yeast, carbohydrates, unfortunately, must be avoided and an antifungal medicine must be taken until the flora are brought back into balance. Then carbohydrates can be introduced cautiously back into the diet in the form of whole grains and vegetables and possibly low sugar fruits in small amounts, such as strawberries, cantaloupe and honeydew melon.
As you can see, it is important to take care of your digestive tract for many reasons.
Best of health and happiness to you.
Good luck and happy hunting.

How come there are nuts in poop?
Ask a squirrel :-)
Basically, because a lot of nut is undigested, and is passed out of the body as waste.
