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.
