The tube at the beginning of the small intestine is the duodenum; this is only one section of the small intestine.
Pancreas is a small tube off the large intestine !!
The long coiled tube in which food is digested and absorbed is the small intestine. It is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients and absorbing these nutrients into the bloodstream to be used by the body for energy and other functions. The small intestine is an essential part of the digestive system, where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place.
The short wide tube in which water is absorbed from undigested food is the colon, also known as the large intestine. In the colon, water and electrolytes are absorbed from the indigestible food remnants, helping to form solid waste (feces) before it is eliminated from the body.
In order that enough nutrients are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine as food passes through, the tube has to be long. In an adult, the small intestine can be anything up to 6 metres or over in length. thank you... Shunterria S. Parham May 2009
"Small" and "large" intestine refer to the overall diameter of the 'tube'.
