The large intestine covers the digested food with juices and substances. The small intestine pulls nutrients out of the digested food.

The long coiled tube-like organ that controls the flow of food is called the intestine, specifically the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption, while the large intestine focuses on water absorption and waste formation. Together, they play a crucial role in the digestive system.
The distal coiled portion of the small intestine is called the ileum. It is located between the jejunum and the cecum (the beginning of the large intestine) and is the longest section of the small intestine. The ileum is primarily involved in the absorption of nutrients, especially vitamin B12 and bile salts.
One key difference is that in humans, the large intestine is longer and more developed than in frogs. The large intestine in frogs is simpler in structure and functions primarily in water reabsorption. Additionally, frogs have a specialized structure called the cloaca, which serves as a chamber for excretion, reproduction, and waste elimination.
In a frog the first part of the small intestine is called duodenum. The second part is called the ileum. The small intestine leads to the large intestine.
The first portion of the small intestine, the duodenum, is straight. The second portion, the ileum, is coiled.
The structure that is very long and coiled up in your abdomen is the intestines, specifically the small and large intestines. The small intestine is approximately 20 feet long and is coiled to fit within the abdominal cavity, playing a crucial role in digestion and nutrient absorption. The large intestine, or colon, is shorter but also coiled and is responsible for absorbing water and forming waste. Together, they are essential components of the digestive system.
