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.
The average length of the small intestine in an adult human male is 6.9 m (22 ft 8 in), and 7.1 m (23 ft 4 in) in an adult female. It can vary greatly, from as short as 4.6 m (15 ft) to as long as 9.8 m (32 ft). Recent studies indicate that small intestine may be shorter, around 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in), and that the length is less affected by age after childhood than expected. It is approximately 2.5â3 cm in diameter. The surface area of the human small intestinal mucosa averages 30 square meter. The small intestine is divided into three structural parts. The duodenum is a short structure (about 20â25 cm long) continuous with the stomach and shaped like a C.
