She faw her fons with purple death expire 5 
And dreadful feries of inteJUne wars,

INTESTINE, f. [intejlinum , Lat. intcjline, Fr.] The 
gut j the bowel: moft commonly without a lingular.—The 
inteflines or guts may be inflamed by an acrid fubftance 
taken inwardly. Arbuthnot. 
From the pylorus to the anus is one continued canal, 
divided into the fmall and great inteftines, covered by the 
mefentery and mefcolon ; and, as they are longer than 
thel'e membranes, they are contrafted in folds to the 
length of the latter. The whole length of the inteftines 
is between feven and eight times the length of the body ; 
the fmall ones are about five of thefe parts. In the great 
inteftines we may obferve little hole's, which, when in¬ 
flated, lead to cells analogous to the follicles of Malpighi; 
and by analogy we may fuppofe glands to exift in the 
great inteftines near the anus, to feparate a lubricating 
mucus for facilitating the paffage of the feces. The ar¬ 
teries and veins run together on the inteftines. In the 
inteftines the firft digeftion is completed ; from them the 
chyle is abforbed, and through their cavity the feces ul¬ 
timately carried off. Thefe actions are performed by their 
periftaltic or vermicular motion, which, apparently mov¬ 
ing their contents backward or forward, in effect propel 
them ; as the waves of an increafing tide fometimes fall 
fhort of, and at others gainon,thofe which preceded them, 
but on the whole advance. This motion is caufed by the 
flucceffive contradlion and relaxation of the circular fibres 
of the mufcular coat; and the principal ftimulus to this 
motion is the diftention of the canal. The adtion of the 
lungs on the diaphragm and of the abdominal mufcles af- 
iift the progrefs of the contents of the ftomach and intef¬ 
tines. Thus the clara UElio, reading aloud, is faid by' 
Celfus to aflift digeftion.
