GUTS

In zoology, the gut, also known as the alimentary canal or alimentary tract, is a tube by which bilaterian animals transfer food to the digestion organs. In large bilaterians the gut generally also has an exit, the anus, by which the animal disposes of solid wastes. Some small bilaterians have no anus and dispose of solid wastes by other means, for example through the mouth.

    Blight her brow with blotch and blister,
    Cramp her larynx, lung and liver,
    In her guts a galling give her.
