The intestine shares a general structure with whole gut and is composed of several layers. The Lumen is the cavity where digested material passes through and from where nutrients are absorbed.

The small intestine is where final digestion and absorption occur. The small intestine is a coiled tube over 3 meters long. Coils and folding plus villi give this 3m tube the surface area of a 500-600m long tube.

intestine
The part of the alimentary canal that lies between the stomach and anus. It is usually coiled, and the internal surface is greatly increased by the presence of folds and projections (villi) to enable efficient digestion and absorption.

These complexes are abundant at the brush border membranes of kidney proximal tubule cells and epithelial cells of the intestine, and are also expressed in certain leucocytes and cancer cells.

Escherichia coli (usually abbreviated to E. coli) is one of the main species of bacteria that live in the lower intestines of warm-blooded animals (including birds and mammals) and are necessary for the proper digestion of food.

For centuries large whales have been hunted for oil, meat, baleen and ambergris (a perfume ingredient from the intestine of sperm whales). Until the middle of the 20th century, whaling left many populations nearly or fully extinct.

Thick accumulations of mucus in the intestines and lungs result in malnutrition, poor growth, frequent respiratory infections, breathing difficulties, and eventually permanent lung damage. Lung disease is the cause of death in most patients.
