The large intestine is part of the digestive system and is located in the lower area of the abdomen within the large membrane known as the peritoneum (which has 2 layers separated by a small amount of liquid, enabling the organs contained within it to move freely over and around each other).
Small IntestineThe small intestine (also known as the small bowel) is the longest portion of the digestive tract - it is more than 6 meters long and is located within the middâ¦le of the abdomen. It has three sections, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum (more information provided below). Much of the small intestine is coiled and suspended in a thin layer of fat - which gives the intestine a lot of flexibility and mobility.
