Digestion in the Small Intestine
By Jennifer Kenny |
|
1 The small intestine is a very important stop in the digestive process. In fact, most of digestion occurs here. The small intestine is a long, narrow, twisting tube of muscles and tissue. It can be anywhere from thirteen feet to twenty feet long, but it is only one inch in diameter. It is coiled tightly so that it can fit in the abdomen.
