how do your intestines end up back in their original positions if disturbed during surgery?
In: Biology
They squirm their way back into place.
The intestines have lots of smooth muscle in their walls, which contracts rhythmically to move your food through the system (this contraction is called ‘peristalsis’). They are also (partially) enveloped in a sheet of tissue called the omentum, which helps them stay in place when you are sitting or standing upright.
