regulate the blood glucose levels. It also makes
enzymes to break down food in the intestines.
Large Intestine
 The large intestine consists of three parts the cecum ,
colon, and the rectum.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is called small because of its width
not its length. Its actually much larger than the large
intestine. The small and large intestine form a
continuous tube.
