Intestines

The small intestine of a pig is a major site of nutrient absorption. The pancreas releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine, which break down nutrients from food. The nutrients are absorbed in the last section of the small intestine, and whatever is left passes to the large intestine.

The rectum doesn't do anything to break down food. By the time "food" reaches the large intestine, what was at one time "food" is then liquefied waste. In the small intestines, fluid is added. So in the large intestines, the fluid is pulled back out of the waste and then pushed toward the kidneys to process it. As the fluid is pulled back, the liquefied wastes become semi-solid (to very dry solid if constipated). After going through the last part of the large intestines, the solid waste (stool, feces) is pushed into the top of the rectum. The rectum acts as a holding receptacle and as a nerve center that sets off a "gotta go" signal through a feeling of fullness, e.g. pressure on the nerves in the walls of the rectum. The rectum is about 10-12cm in length. So it can hold a lot of waste. Also, because the intestines and rectum are basically round tubes, resulting in us having a mostly rounded stool (unless we end up with too much water left in the waste, resulting in diarrhea. As you can see, the rectum has nothing to do with breaking down food.

Colic is the condition horses have when they have any form of digestive system pain, therefore whenever the intestines are twisted this will cause pain and so will always be referred to as colic. But there are many types of colic and not all involve twisting of the intestines.

Yes, the stomach connects to the small intestine.

Thru the pyloric sphincter to the duodenum (1st part of s intestine)

Had a colonoscopy this week, and my doctor said that a 12mm colon polyp is considered medium size.

The hepatic flexure is a section of the large intestine associated with the liver.

When you 'poo' your anus relaxes and lets it open, and not for long periods of time, its a strong muscle and can easily be damaged when a man inserts his penis inside if it isn't done with special care as it isn't what its designed for. you can also get friction burns from the penis rubbing against the anus and the walls of the rectum. Using LOTS of lubrication or 'lube' can reduce this pain.

Overlying bowel gas is more or less exactly what it sounds like - a bubble of air in the intestines that is on top of another structure you want to image with the ultrasound. Unfortunately, air bounces ultrasound waves back and doesn't allow you to see what's behind it, so you may see "overlying bowel gas" in an ultrasound report indicating the technician was unable to see some of the abdominal viscera.

A local anesthetic is used for the surgical procedure performed on an outpatient basis. An incision is made by a surgeon in the palm of the hand at the base of the affected finger or thumb to relieve the constriction of the tendon.

Not simply by getting it on your skin. But if some gets INSIDE your body, then you can get sick. Failure to wash your hands after touching, before eating, or if you have a cut on your hand.

Simply put, larger surface area allows for more digestive process to occur.

The small intestine is where the nutrients from the digested food coming out of the stomach are absorbed. If a person's small intestine is not functioning all the nutrients from food will pass straight through and be excreted.

The large intestine surrounds the small intestine. :)

Diverticulosis develops when the diverticula form in the wall of the large intestine. The pouches don't cause symptoms, but they may become infected, and that is when the symptoms occur.

Different types of nutrients are absorbed through small finger like structures called Villi.

Your organs are located right beneath your stomach.

In the digestive system, the large intestine forms the last part. It comprises of the cecum, colon and rectum as its three major segments.

Most likely because of the pressure that compressed gas would exert on their surroundings, such as if one was on a chair, the pressure would generate a sound as it pushes the fart onto the solid surface that is louder than what one might want whereas when one lifts the butt, the fart dissipates and does not cause any excess sound from reverberation with the chair. Plus it keeps the smell of the fart from concentrating

If the large intestine does not remove water, you'll have loose stools or diarrhea.

Gram-negative rods, mostly E. coli, are the most prevalent bacteria in our guts. Most E. coli are normal flora, only a few strains are pathogenic. Lactobacilli, which are gram-positive rods, are also in our guts.

I'm assuming that you mean large intestine. If so, then it has an average length of about 1.5 meters (5 ft) and a width of 7.5 cm (3 in.). The colon is the largest portion, and the average colon weighs approximately four pounds.
