The small intestine is longer than the large intestine. In adults, the small intestine typically measures about 20 feet (6 meters) in length, while the large intestine is only about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. The small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption, whereas the large intestine primarily absorbs water and forms waste.
