An IED is a bomb fabricated in an improvised manner incorporating destructive, lethal, noxious, pyrotechnic, or incendiary chemicals and designed to destroy or incapacitate personnel or vehicles. In some cases, IEDs are used to distract, disrupt, or delay an opposing force, facilitating another type of attack.
Small Intestine. The small intestine is a winding, tightly folded tube about 20 ft (6 m) long in adults. It connects to the stomach on the top end and to the large intestine (colon) on the bottom end. Most of the food a person consumes is digested and absorbed in the small intestine. The lining of the small intestine has tiny, finger-shaped tissues (villi).
Your small intestine is the section of your digestive tract where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place. In this lesson, you will learn about the unique modifications within the wall of the small intestine that allow for maximum absorption.We previously learned that the small intestine is about 20 feet long.our small intestine is the section of your digestive tract where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place.
