Large intestine
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system. It lies between the small intestine and the anus in the Gastrointestinal system. It is about 1.5 meters long. It is shorter than the small intestine. But its diameter is bigger, so its name is large intestine.
