A rare informative post in izismile. I question the accuracy of some of the statements, but it was an interesting read.
The small intestines got its name because of its width, as it is actually the biggest internal organ in a human body. The small intestine is about 20 feet long and if its surface area was flattened, it would be the size of 2 tennis courts.
It contains about one kilogram of bacteria.
Interestingly, the Japanese have unique microbes their intestines which help to process seaweed quicker.
