Human intestines, artwork
Human intestines. Artwork of a human torso with the intestines highlighted in colour. They consist of the small intestine (pink), circled by the large intestine (light brown). Enzymes break down food in the stomach and small intestine to release nutrients. These are absorbed into the blood and the lymphatic system through the intestinal linings. Water is reabsorbed in the large intestine. The small intestine is several metres long uncoiled, though the length varies from individual to individual. Other organs and systems shown here include the heart and lungs in the chest, the stomach and liver above the intestines, and arteries and veins in the thighs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a remarkable artwork of the human intestines. The intricate illustration focuses on a male torso, with the small intestine highlighted in a vibrant pink hue and encircled by the light brown large intestine. It beautifully captures the complexity of our digestive system. The stomach and liver are positioned above the intestines, while other vital organs such as the heart and lungs grace the chest area. Arteries and veins can be seen branching out through the thighs, emphasizing their role in maintaining proper circulation throughout our body. The caption also highlights how enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down food within both the stomach and small intestine to release essential nutrients. These nutrients are then absorbed into our bloodstream and lymphatic system through specialized linings within our intestines. Additionally, it mentions that water is reabsorbed specifically in the large intestine, showcasing its importance in maintaining hydration levels within our bodies. Overall, this awe-inspiring artwork not only provides an anatomically accurate representation but also serves as a reminder of how intricately interconnected all these systems are for us to maintain good health.
