| Comments | P.138 footnote at bottom of page: "The length of the intestinal tract has been reported to be correlated with the height of the individual ([844] Underhill 1955, PMID 13269841, pp. 1245-6) therefore, the length of the intestinal tract and its subdivisions for the reference adult female might be 16/17 or ~94% of that for reference adult male (see p. 15)." For length of gastrointestinal tract of ~7 meters see BNID 111215 (in ref thereof-p.285 left column bottom paragraph) |
