What would happen if our intestines were not coiled (twisted) inside our body?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

If there is a change in the natural shape of the intestines, this can be known as a twisted bowel. A twist in the small intestine is referred to as a volvulus. Twists in the large intestine are known as a colonic volvulus. These abnormal twists or loops can cause an obstruction or other medical conditions which could be fatal. If signs of twisting bowel present, it is important to seek medical attention as quickly as possible.
