What happens in the small intestines of the digestive system?
First, the contents in the stomach slowly moves into the small intestines-- the contents does not "dump" all at once. The material by then has been masticated (chewed) in your mouth, with saliva adding to the break down, and in the stomach exposed to acids and bile salts that broke down the food into a chunky mush.Second, as the chunky mush enters the small intestines, it is exposed to several forces. One is that the small intestines pulls in fluid from cells to make the mash more "soupy". Another force is muscular as the mush is moved through about 20 feet (6 meters) of coiled up small intestines. It is not a straight tube, but has many bends and a large surface area that allows the body to start immediately receive nutrients. Cells get numerous micro-nutrients as the mush moves along. By the time the small intestines are done with their job, it has pulled out every bit of good parts of the food you eat. But it cannot send that soupy mix on, or humans would have constant diarrhea. So first, the body must begin pulling out the liquidy part. That gets shuttled to the kidneys for processing, while also keeping your body hydrated.Third, the mixture now begins to move into the large intestines, about FIVE feet (1.5 meters) of loops. The difference in length is because the small intestines must do so much more work. The large intestines is mostly responsible for compacting the mixture and preparing it into a "bowel movement". The shape of a formed bowel movement is primarily just the shape of the tube.Now, if there was a problem in the small intestine, such as if you have a bacterial or viral stomach infection, then the small intestines cannot pull off as much fluid. So you might feel intestinal cramps and feel ill, and experience diarrhea, because the large intestines are not responsible to send fluid to the kidneys like what goes on in the small intestines.
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 much is one yard equal to a foot?
One yard is exactly equal to three (3) feet or thirty six (36) inches or a little over 0.9 metres.Naturally if you like to be silly then it depends on whether you have large or small feet and of course whether you have a small yard or a very large yard.

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.
