How long is the entire length of the bowel, and of the intestine.?


Question:
I need both lengths, the entire bowel, the entire intestine.

Answers:
The parts of the small intestine measure about 20 feet long:
duodenum is 10 inches
jejunum is about 8 feet
ileum is about 12 feet

The large intestine measures about 5 feet long with the rectum making up only 6 inches of it.

So, the complete total is approximately 25 feet.
