Detailed explanation-1: -Your large intestine is about five feet (or 1.5 meters) long. The large intestine is much broader than the small intestine and takes a much straighter path through your belly, or abdomen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The length of the small intestine is roughly 9–16 feet (ft), while the large intestine is shorter, measuring about 5 ft long. The intestines sit in the abdomen and absorb nutrients, vitamins, and water. They form part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the latter section of the digestive system .
Detailed explanation-3: -The large intestine is about 5 feet (1.5 m) in length and 2.5 inches (6-7 cm) in diameter in the living body, but becomes much larger postmortem as the smooth muscle tissue of the intestinal wall relaxes.
