intestine

The German word 'Darm' is used to refer to the intestine, which is a long, tube-like organ in the digestive system. It is responsible for absorbing nutrients and water from food that has been partially digested in the stomach. The intestine is divided into two main parts: the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine is where most of the absorption of nutrients takes place, while the large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and forming waste products. The word 'Darm' can be used to refer to either the small or large intestine, or to the intestine as a whole.
