Small Intestine Soft Toy - Giant Microbes

A cute, cuddly buddy and an educational aid all in one, this quirky plush makes the perfect gift for yourself, anyone with an interest in medicine, or just a healthy sense of humour!

Over 5 meters in length, the small intestine digests churned food from the stomach into proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the body uses for fuel. The first section is 12" long and its name, duodenum, means "12 each". The longer sections are the jejunum and ileum.

Size: 12cm x 12cm x 5cm approx.

Giantmicrobes are based on actual microbes, cells, organisms and other critters, only 1,000,000 times actual size!
