Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is longer?
A
small intestine
B
large intestine
C
a pencil
D
my teacher
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ileum: This last section is the longest part of your small intestine. The ileum is where most of the nutrients from your food are absorbed before emptying into the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -That comes to more than 150m of intestine in the case of a large sperm whale and possibly as much as 220m for a blue whale. While this sounds enormous, it’s actually only seven or eight times the whale’s body length. In contrast, a cow has intestines that are 20 times as long as its body – that’s 40m for a 2m-long cow!
