Intestino
Le intestino de un animal es como] un tubo cave proque le alimento e bile ex le stomacho pote attinge le intestino tenue e le [[intestine large]. Le prime parte del intestino tenue es le duodeno. Es unde major parte del comido es ruptura ab le enzymos. The intestines of an animal are like a hollow tube so that food and bile from the stomach can reach the small intestine and large intestine. The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum. It is where most of the food is broken down by enzymes. Further on, the small intestine absorbs useful compounds from the digested food. It does this through small villi or tiny microvilli.[1] These are very small, hair-like structures in the walls of the intestine.
The large intestine is also called the bowel. It absorbs water, and any nutrients still remaining. It also absorbs vitamins made by the gut flora in the colon. Finally it expels waste through the anus.[2]
