As far as the main function of small intestine is concerned, it is the part where the 'most extensive part of digestion' occurs. The large intestine is most responsible for absorption of water and excretion of solid wastes, thus, works more towards dealing with the bulk and its removal from the body. Since, the large intestine deals with bulk, it is shorter and wider, while the small intestine's narrow width corresponds to the absorption and digestion process carried out. Food ingested via the mouth enters the stomach and is allowed to enter the duodenum by a muscle called pyloric sphincter. The ingested food is then pushed through the small intestine by a muscular-wavelike process called peristalsis.
