“The large intestine is the last part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the long, tube-like pathway that food travels through your digestive system. The large intestine is about six feet long — much shorter than the small intestine, which is 22 feet. It’s called the large intestine because it’s wider — about three inches, while the small intestine is only one inch in diameter. It follows from the small intestine and ends at the anal canal, where food waste leaves your body. The large intestine, also called the large bowel, is where food waste is formed into poop, stored, and finally excreted. It includes the colon, rectum and anus. Sometimes “colon” is also used to describe the entire large intestine.”
