Colon - Plush Keychain

FACTS: The final stages of digestion occur in the large intestine. The colon is the main section, looping up, across and down like a horseshoe. Other intestinal sections are the cecum, appendix and rectum. The colon absorbs water for reuse by the body and ferments fiber with the help of trillions of friendly microbes, your microbiome. These bacteria are an integral part of your digestive system, even acting as the gatekeepers of your metabolism. Giantmicrobes are based on actual microbes, cells, organisms and other critters, only 1,000,000 times actual size! Size: 2-4" with clip Materials: This plush is made from all-new materials. It is stuffed with polyester fiber fill. It is surface washable: sponge with water and soap, air dry. Packaging: Each plush microbe includes a printed card with fun, educational and fascinating facts about the actual microbe or cell. Safety: Every product meets or exceeds U.S. and European standards for safety. For ages 3 and up.
