Roughly how many meters long is the average adult's small intestine when fully uncoiled? (1 m ≈ 3.3 ft)
Answer
7 meters
Despite the name, the 'small' intestine is about four times longer than the large intestine — it's called small because it's narrower. Uncoiled, it's taller than an adult giraffe.
