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 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.
The villi on the inner surface.
The answer is small intestine.
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
folds and villi
The small intestine is about 5 meters long; this provides a large surface area for the absorption of nutrients
To allow a greater surface area for nutrient absorption.
In small intestine. You have very large surface area of the intestine is there for the same.
The small intestine is said to be small because it's diameter is not as large as the large intestine.
The diameter of the large intestine is greater than that of the small intestine.
The small intestine is considerably longer than the large intestine, but the large intestine is wider in diameter, from which it derives its name. Yes. It is smaller in diameter than the large intestine but much longer. The small intestine is longer than the large intestine but it is called small intestine because its diameter is smaller than that of the large intestine.
