Intestine

The intestine is a long, tube-shaped organ in your digestive system that helps break down food, absorb nutrients, and dispose of waste. After food is chewed and mixed with stomach acids, it moves into the small intestine, where most nutrients are absorbed into your blood. The remaining waste then travels through the large intestine, which absorbs water and forms solid stool. The intestine works continuously to ensure your body gets the energy and nutrients it needs to function properly while efficiently removing waste.
