Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How long is the small intestine? The small intestine is by far the longest section of the gastrointestinal tract, about 22 feet long. The lining also has a vast surface area that’s scrunched into folds and peaks. If you stretched out the lining, it would cover a tennis court.
Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine is about six feet long-much shorter than the small intestine, which is 22 feet. It’s called the large intestine because it’s wider-about three inches, while the small intestine is only one inch in diameter.
