ANATOMY: mesen­tery of the small intestines; small intestines

BEYOND: The blood sup­ply to the small intestines acts as our nour­ish­ing by-ways and high­ways, allow­ing for the assim­i­la­tion of all the nour­ish­ment we take into our body. Like the roots of plants our intestines have lit­tle “fin­gers” that reach out to grab those amaz­ing atoms and mol­e­cules like nitro­gen, oxy­gen, hydro­gen, and car­bon to make the pro­teins, vit­a­mins and min­er­als we need for healthy liv­ing. Imag­ine what it is like to be a root of a plant, your body, and your soul, select­ing what you need and dis­card­ing what is waste.
