Small bowel

The small intestine, or aka the small bowel is part of the bowel group. I think it should be reversed its name. You want to know why? It is because it is 20 ft. Here is a math problem. If the small bowel and the large bowel are connected to measure 25 ft, then how much is a large one? See the answer in the Large bowel article. Anyway, it has a jejunum, and an ilium. Their job is to get the nutrients. They have tiny blood vessels that take in them and send them to cappilaries.
