Large intestine

Step-by-step explanation:

Large intestine is longer than small intestine is not a characteristic of large intestine

The large intestine is present in the final section of the gastrointestinal tract and its various functions include absorption of water and vitamins while converting digested food into feces

Lengthwise large intestine is shorter than the small intestine but is thicker in diameter, thus giving it its name

Length of large intestine is about 1.5 m and diameter is 2.5 m inside the body

It wraps around the border of the abdominal body cavity from the right side of the body, across the top of the abdomen, and finally down the left side
