What is the function of the large and small intestines?
Intestines are a long, continuous tube running from the stomach to the anus. Absorption of nutrients and water happens in the intestines. The intestinal tract, include the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum.
The small intestine (small bowel) is approximately 20 to 22 feet long and about one inch in diameter. It moves continually. The small intestines job is to absorb most of the nutrients from what we eat and drink. Soft mucous tissue lines the inside of the small intestine, which is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. The colon absorbs water from fecal matter, creating stool. As stool enters the rectum, special nerves in there create the urge to defecate.

Fiber slows the release of blood sugar, which helps keep weight and type II diabetes at bay. Fiber has a modest effect on cholesterol but its real cardiovascular benefit is in its effect on C-reactive protein.
