Abo 1 day
4mins
Food spend about four hours in the small intestine
2-3 hours
I heard it took about 5 hours.
Maybe I misunderstand your question, but... ... as the small and large intestine are joined to each other (exit small intestine and enter the large intestine), the food moves between the two almost instantaneously.
i dont know the answer but its not the small intestine. The small intestine is a long folded tube inside the body attached to the stomach where nutrients in the food are absorbed.
That is the small intestine. (The small intestine is actually longer than the large intestine.)
Food is passed from the stomach, and it goes through the long tube called the small intestine. In the villi it absorbs nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream, the small intestine is the biggest part of the digestive system, and the food is send to the large intestine where it is made into excrement.

Small intestine is where 90% of nutrients are absorbed.
Because it takes time to absorb food.
about 30 hours ;D
The stomach and small intestine both help with digestion. However, the stomach breaks down the food with acids and is mostly a large cavity, while the small intestine absorbs the nutrients and is a long winding path.
