Compare large and small intestine. Mention 3 differences between small and large intestine. Enumerate parts of large intestine. Which part of the abdominal cavity is the liver mainly present in? Which is the largest lymphoid organ in the body?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information about the anatomy and physiology of the digestive system, specifically comparisons between the large and small intestines, the location of the liver in the abdominal cavity, and the largest lymphoid organ in the body.
Answer
Differences: width, length, function. Large intestine parts: cecum, colon, rectum, anus. Liver mainly in upper right abdomen. Largest lymphoid organ: spleen.
The large intestine is wider and shorter than the small intestine, lacks villi, and focuses on water absorption. Its parts include the cecum, colon, rectum, and anus. The liver is mainly in the upper right abdominal cavity. The spleen is the largest lymphoid organ.
Answer for screen readers
The large intestine is wider and shorter than the small intestine, lacks villi, and focuses on water absorption. Its parts include the cecum, colon, rectum, and anus. The liver is mainly in the upper right abdominal cavity. The spleen is the largest lymphoid organ.
More Information
The small intestine is longer, primarily absorbing nutrients. In contrast, the large intestine reclaims water and forms feces. The spleen helps filter blood and fight bacteria.
Tips
Avoid confusing intestine length with nutrient absorption capabilities.
