How long is the small intesine?
if you were to remove the entire small intestine and straighten it out, it would go around the world approximately two and a half times.
What will happen if no small intestine?
The large intestine has, as its major function, the removal of water from the digestive tract at the end of the digestive process. (The small intestine is the primary absorber of nutrients from out of the digested material.) Without a large intestine, you'd have a much more liquid bowel emission. And you'd need to drink more water, too. It's not the best deal in the world, but it is something that can be lived with and just requires "management" on the part of an individual who has, due to accident or disease, lost the large or a large portion of the large intestine. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the large intestine.
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!
How many times can your intesntines go around the world?
The average length of the human intestines is about 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7.5 meters) for the small intestine and around 5 feet (1.5 meters) for the large intestine, totaling roughly 25 to 30 feet. The circumference of the Earth is approximately 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers). If you were to stretch the intestines out, they could go around the Earth about 0.000002 times, which highlights just how long the Earth's circumference is compared to human anatomy.
How long small intestine can be stretch?
AnswerHuman small intestine is about 7m. but when stretched out could go around the world, theoretically of course.

How many small human intestions does it take to rap around the earth?
# The human small intestine has three parts; the duodenum, the jejuneum, and the ileum. Since the duodenum is about a foot long, the jejunem is about 6 feet long, and the ileum is about 9 feet long, that makes the small intestine about 16 feet long. Since the duodenum is about a foot long, the jejunem is about 6 feet long, and the ileum is about 9 feet long, that make the small intestine about 16 feet long. That would mean that there are about 88 small intestines in every miles. Then id we multiply that by the earth's circumference of about 24900 miles, that means that there would need to be about 2.2 million human small intestines lined up end to end to reach all the way around the world.
Do you get a Christmas tree on animal crossing wild world?

Why is the small intestines the main part of the digestive system?
The small intestines are important in the digestive system. There are small finger like structures in the Small intestines called villi, these villi extract the nutrients and take it into the blood stream. Without the small intestines you would not be able to extract nutrients from the food.
How are the villi of the small intestine important to the digestive system?
Digestion and absorption. Yummy! The length of the the small intestine allows for more absorption time and its epithelium has specialized villi and the villi have microvilli adding to its surface area and 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 (stores bile) and pancreas (produces bile). Then it gets moved along into the jejunum (I always thought that would make a great doggie name) 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!
