Human Anatomy Â» Digestive System Â» Small Intestine. Small intestine is the longest part of alimentary canal. It extends from the pylorus of the stomach to the junction between cecum and ileum. Much of digestion and absorption of food takes place in the small intestine. The small intestine is divided into three parts: Duodenum, Jejunum and Ileum.
The large intestine is the second section of the alimentary canal. The large intestines start in the pelvis at the right iliac region located immediately under the waist on the right-hand side. From here, the colon travels up the abdomen, then crosses horizontally at the top of the abdominal cavity, and finally turns downwards, to finish at the anus.
