The small intestine is the largest in the digestive system because it has the largest surface area. The whole inside of the small intestine is covered in villi and micro villi and when spread out it would be about the size of 4 tennis courts! These villi and micro villi are there in order to allow the absorption of nutrients and gases into the circulatory system.
