I don't really know but i think small.
Amazingly the small intestine is longer! -Annabeth
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.
The large intestine
Small intestine is longer.
Small intestine is longer.
The large intestine has that name because its diameter is larger than that of the small intestine. The small intestine is actually longer than the large intestine.
The large intestine is longer than the small intestine. The small intestine measures about 20 feet (6 meters) in length, while the large intestine is approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. Despite its name, the small intestine is actually longer than the large intestine, but the latter has a greater diameter. Thus, while the small intestine is longer, the large intestine is wider.
The terms "small" and "large" intestine refer to the diameter of the intestines rather than their length. The small intestine, despite being longer (about 20 feet in adults), has a smaller diameter compared to the large intestine, which measures around 5 feet in length but has a larger diameter. The small intestine is primarily involved in nutrient absorption, while the large intestine focuses on water absorption and waste elimination. Thus, the naming reflects their relative widths rather than their lengths.
The smaller intestine is larger because it is 20 feet long and the large intestine is only 5 feet long
The large intestine is the shorter but wider section of the intestine. The small intestine is longer but narrower.
The reason why the large intestine is called the longer one is because it is much more thicker than than the small one which is skinnier but much more longer
The small intestine, while longer than the "large" intestine, is smaller in diameter and circumference, comparatively, to the large intestine.
