The Intestine

The intestine is a muscular tube that moves food from the stomach to the outside world. As your food travels through the small and large intestines, fluids and nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal wall.

Successful intestinal transplants were not performed until the mid-1980s.

Intestines are not currently transplanted in Australia
