Stomach and intestines,artwork. Three parts of the digestive system are shown here: the stomach (upper right),the small intestine (coils,centre),and the first parts of the large intestine (clockwise from lower left to below the stomach). The final parts of the large intestine are not seen. Enzymatic breakdown of food in the stomach and small intestine releases nutrients. These are absorbed into the blood and the lymphatic system through the intestinal linings. Water is reabsorbed in the large intestine. If uncoiled,the small intestine is around 7 metres long,though the length can vary greatly from individual to individual | |
