The ceca is the blind pouch at the beginning of the large intestine and gastric is of or relating to the stomach. So I don't see how they can become one word if they are two different things in two different places.

That would be a "bowel" movement. If it's bright red and just a speck or two it is probably 'roids. \n\nIncrease dietary fiber, don't strain at stool, see MD if worsens

Omentum: A sheet of fat that is covered by peritoneum. The greater omentum is attached to the bottom edge of the stomach, and hangs down in front of the intestines. Its other edge is attached to the transverse colon. The lesser omentum is attached to the top edge of the stomach, and extends to the undersurface of the liver. \n\nIt already fits your body

I think it's probably because when one changes from lying down to standing up (or staggering, in my case), the contents of the colon rearrange themselves and the gases which were formed by the bacteria during the night collect behind the sphincter.\n\nNow did you REALLY want to know that?

I'm gonna have to go with my gut and say that a having an extra sac (even if it's filled with air or pus) is probably a bad thing. Of course, I'm not a doctor, so it may be really great. Might wanna swing by the M.D. just to check.

It's food like they serve in health spas.  \n\nToday the term is somewhat nebulous, usually meaning lean, healthful cooking but with a special emphasis on the beauty of the presentation. Nutritionally, it's the continuation of "heart-healthy" foods, Ellis says. "It's a broadening, a step up."

Well, they're all fun to say.  But duodenum was the body part I learned first, so I think I'll always be partial to it.  Tough luck ileum and jejunum!

Consider the context in which it's being eaten and whether or not you can manage to eat with your hands and maintain your dignity/not make a mess, etc. That should give you some indication.

ok, lets make this simple.\n\nIf a shape can be folded over itself and cover itself exactly, the article is said to be symmetrical and the "fold line" is said to be an axis of symmetry.\n\nA square is a symmetrical shape with 4 axis of symmetry, the two diagnals and one line drawn across it half way up, one line drawn down through it, half way across it.\n\nA circle has an infinate nubber of axis of symmetry, each one being a diameter.\n\nOne way to look at this axis is to think of it as a mirror placed on a plain geometrical shape, the reflection is the other half of the shape.

Yes...but it should be MIDDEN not mitten...midden is an outside toilet...\nIt means the fart is desperate to escape, and not be flushed down the toilet, if it waits nervously until the door opens, then it can escape and do its damage...

To make sure the gut has as much surface area as possible for the absorption of nutrients, it is:\n- very long,\n- its internal surface is folded, &\n- the internal surface is covered in finger-like projections called villi. On its own, one of these projections is called a villus.

Did you mean "origami"?  That is Japanese paper folding that creates all those cool paper cranes.  The word 'onami' in japanese means a billow or surge, using the kanji for "big wave".  (Same 'nami' as tsunami or earth wave)
