Melting point: Melting point, temperature at which the solid and liquid forms of a pure substance can exist in equilibrium. As heat is applied to a solid, its temperature will increase until the melting point is reached. More heat then will convert the solid into a liquid with no temperature change.
Overall, in humans, the large intestine is about 1.5 metres (5 ft) long, which is about one-fifth of the whole length of the gastrointestinal tract.
The large intestine total length is approximately 5 to 5Â½ feet and it ends at the anus where feces is eliminated from the body. The small intestines length is approx. 26 ft. long. They are called large and small not because of their length but because of their width & diameter. Colon therapy (or Colonics) are important.
