What is the approximate average length of the large intestine in an adult human?

Answer: D. 1.5 meters (5 feet)

While the small intestine is much longer—averaging about 6 to 7 meters (20 feet)—the large intestine is significantly wider in diameter, which is how it earned its name. It consists of several key segments: the cecum, the colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid), the rectum, and the anal canal.
