Is appendix a part of small intestine?
No, the appendix can be found off the large intestine.
What portion of the large intestine connects to the small intestine?
The small intestine connects to the large intestine about a hands length beneath the liver. The portion of the S.I. is called the ileum and the portion it joins to is the cecum. A sphincter connects the two, preventing back flow. Below the junction is the appendix, which is essentially the tapering off of the large intestine into a rat tail like shape. Matter is supposed to continue up through this part of L.I. hence it's named the ascending colon.
How long is the small inthe intestine vs the long intestine?

Blind pouch hanging from the cecum?
The cecum is called a blind pouch because this is exactly what it is - an extension off the large intestine near the junction of the large and small intestines that has one opening at one end. The other end is closed, forming a long tube similar to a sock.
What happens in to the small intestine?
In the small intestine, the food is digested for the last time in the digestive system. Bile, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice are let into the small intestine when the food enters the small intestine. The bile acid is the greenish liquid that that breaks down the large fat molecule into small fat molecule. The intestinal and pancreatic juice contain protease, carbohydrase and lipase. The pancreatic juice is made in the pancreas and it flows into the small intestine while the intestinal juice is made in the small intestine itself. The protease break down the polypeptide into amino acids, carbohydrase break down maltose into glucose and the lipase will break down the small fat molecule into glycerol and fatty acid. the walls of the small intestine have many blood vessels. Only the simple molecules such as amino acids, glucose, glycerol and fatty acids can be absorbed into the blood vessels. The large molecules such as proteins, polypeptide, carbohydrate, maltose and fats cannot enter the bloodstream as they are too big to be absorbed and so all this big nutrient molecules will be passed on to the large intestine to be disposed off through the anus in the form of faeces. The walls of the small intestine are filled villi which provide a large surface area for the absorption of nutrients to be faster.

What is a duodenal diverticulum?
A diverticulum is a pouch off the side wall of a tubular part of the body. The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine. So a duodenal diverticulum is a pouch off the side wall of the small intestine. Half of all people over 65 have diverticula (the plural of diverticulum).
What is the main part of the large intestine?
The first part of the large intestine is called the cecum. The terminal illuem (last part of the small intestine) connects to the cecum at the illeocecal valve. From the cecum the large intestine will start to ascend hence the name ascending colon. The appendix (the bit that is often removed as a result of appendicitis) is often found off the cecum.
Digestion in the small intestine?
Digestion and absorption. Yummy! The length of the the small intestine allows for more absorption time and its epithelium has specialized villi and on the villi has microvilli adding to its absorption ability. Although digestion does begin in the oral cavity turning the food we eat into a bolus, and the stomach does it's job by turning the bolus into chyme, most of the digestion and absorption takes place in the small intestine. The stomach will squeeze out chyme, in small quantities at a time, into the first part of the small intestine: the duodenum, which is where most of the digestion will take place thanks to more secretions by the gallbladder and pancreas. Then it gets moved along into the jejunum of the small intestine; more absorption along the way, and finally the to the last part of the small intestine, the ileum. At this point everything will have been digested and most of the nutrients will have been absorbed, and now off to the large intestine for its next journey out into the world...life is good!
