How does the length of the small intestine assist digestion? The length ensures that nutrients are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream. The length increases the surface area so that it can better absorb nutrients. The length ensures that enough digestive juices are available to break down food.
Your small intestine and digestion. The small intestine is a long tube that is approximately 18 feet long (6 meters). The small intestine is called small because the diameter or the width of the tube is much less than the large intestine. The parts of the small intestine include the duodenum, jejunum and the ileum. The duodenum is a segment of intestine between the stomach and the jejunum that is very active in digestion where many different enzymes mix from the stomach, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
