Intestinal Mystery

Not sure how I feel about the mesentery--or that name. It's the glump of tissue connecting your intestine to the stomach, and some researchers say it should be considered an organ unto its own. For now I will just refer to it as my intestinal mystery.

  1. I'm just an old man trying his best to stay up with what's happening in the world.
    I'm not the COO of a prestigious medical library.
    Therefore, when it comes to all things anatomical, I should defer.
    But "glump"> Seriously? I'm sorry...can't buy it.

  2. Oh, it's a glump alright! You darn tootin'. That's medical terminology right there. Glump. Just ask your doctor. (Well maybe don't.)
