I WONDER - Are There Different Parts To The Intestine?

The video explains the two parts of the intestines: the small and large intestines. The small intestine is a long, thin tube that transports food from the stomach to the large intestine, while the large intestine is shorter and wider, moving food to the rectum. In adults, the small intestine is about 22 feet long, and the large intestine is about 5 feet long, totaling approximately 27 feet, similar to the length of a London bus.
