In this issue of Med, Song et al. compared 174 maternal and 177 infant microbiota after vaginal and cesarean delivery, including 30 vaginally seeded cesarean-born infants. Vaginal seeding partially corrected the microbial divergence observed between cesarean- and vaginal-born infant microbiomes. Infant microbiota resembled corresponding maternal sites, despite delivery mode or seeding.

Anatomy of the Intestines01:23

Anatomy of the Intestines

Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
