The "villi" of the intestines increase the surface area dramatically. Each villus is basically a loop of the intestine wall. The polyps that are often found in the large intestine exhibit similar structure.

The large surface area of the small intestine is achieved by a combination of anatomical features such as the plicae circularis, the vili, and the microvilli.
The large intestine is in charge of water reabsorption.

the small intestine has a large surface area because it allows nutrients to be absorbed into the body more quickly and easily.If there was a small surface area may-be most of our nutrients would end uo in the large intestine and out when we go to the toilet. To answer the final part of the question. What contributes? the length and elasticity of the small intestine contributes to it having a large surface area.
