[@chrisolson3240]

Everyone should have to take an anatomy class as an adult. Especially one like this that shows actual body parts and their functions. Reason: to make people aware how fragile we are to the processed foods we digest or lack thereof. Out of sight out of mind. Our bodies are taken for granted. Show a smoker a set of ruined lungs and see how what they think about it while holding them in their hands. This channel is excellent. Keep up the good lessons. Thank you.

[@wakeuphazy]

an absolute amazing time

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food. It takes about 36 hours for food to move through the entire colon.👍

[@sacr3]

Nope I eat a carrot before bed, I wake up poopin carrots. Sometimes digestion can be fast, within 5 hours fast. Typically you end up with diarrhea but there will be days you'll have corn with supper/dinner and the next day you're poopin corn skin. Thats less than 24 hours, and thats also normal digestion. So yes, it could take 36 hours but that is a bit long.

I had that and they put drains in and put me on antibiotics and I was in the hospital for a month. I felt great when I got out but a couple months later it came back some more antibiotics, it went away oh, I felt great. 2 months later I thought I had just a stomachache and it turns out my sack from the diverticulitis had burst. It was the most excruciating pain ever. I was in the hospital for seven and a half months. They removed all but six feet of my small intestine and all but 1/4 of my colon. I had an ostomy for seven of those months but then luckily there was just enough colon that they could put me back together. Of course now I am forever on medication three different tablets four times a day but I feel wonderful. Make sure you keep that looked at.

Thesis before watching the end: Herbivores have the shortest, because if they're constantly grazing and pooping, then their intestines must be shorter than carnivores. Edit: dang was wrong, but the answer was fascinating. I figured plants weren't very nutritious, and maybe herbivores had multiple stomachs like cows, where most digestion takes place. Leaving a short small intestine to pass food quickly, so they can eat more quickly.

[@robinesak7819]

Just curious, were the cadavers you measured the intestines from approximately the same size? Is intestine size just completely random? Does it impact how many nutrients or how much fat you absorb? Presumably a longer intestine would absorb more nutrients (including fat) than a shorter one... Could that be part of the reason some people seem to gain more weight eating similar foods to other people...

[@theanatomylab]

These are all really fascinating questions. Since filming this video I have reached out to other labs and the consensus is there is a "normal" range of variation. Now does this influence absorption and what we process? Probably, but how much difference it makes is a little hard to predict. For example, when I was in general surgery rotations, we would remove segments of diseased small bowels, a few feet in some cases, and multiple feet in extreme cases. It was hard to predict which patients would have bowel issues afterwards. You would expect that if you remove part of the bowel you would have less transit time for absorption and a higher likelihood for loose stools. Some patients did just fine and others did have symptoms. It makes you wonder what their diets were like and how that influenced their risk to having symptoms afterwards. Like if they were more plant based would they have more issues. Definitely keep in mind that intestinal length is only one variable that affects digestion and absorption. Pancreatic enzymes, bile from the liver and gallbladder, and the villi/microvilli. We definitely know with gallbladder removals, patients will have a harder time digesting and absorbing very fatty meals. Ok... essay complete.
