The small intestine begins at the duodenum, which receives food from the stomach. It is a tubular structure, usually between 6 and 7 m long. The area of the human, adult small intestinal mucosa is about 30 m 2.
The large intestine is the second section of the alimentary canal. The large intestines start in the pelvis at the right iliac region located immediately under the waist on the right-hand side. From here, the colon travels up the abdomen, then crosses horizontally at the top of the abdominal cavity, and finally turns downwards, to finish at the anus.
