What organ produce digestive enzymes?
Enzymes are secreted by several organs of the digestive system: the salivary glands, the stomach, the pancreas, and the small intestine. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract-a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus-and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food (see figure). Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine-also called the colon-rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two "solid" digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system. .
What would happen if the small intestine is the same length as the large intestine?
Under the assumption the intestines would give the same amount of work per cm of length as the ones you have do... If the two intestines were as long as the large intestine currently is, you'd have to eat a lot more than you do now to get proper nutrition. The small intestine pulls nutrients out of the food, and the longer it has to work, the more it can get. If the two intestines were as long as the small intestine currently is, your stool would be excruciatingly dry. The large intestine draws water from the stool, and if it was over four times longer than it now is, you'd really be in trouble.

They start at the iliocecal valve to the first section of the large intestine called the cecum, acsending colon, hepatic flexure (the hepatic flexure is where the colo takes a turn under the liver), transverse colon, the splenic flexure (the splenic flexure is where the colon turns downward under the spleen), decsending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and the anus.
