The small intestine is very long i.e, the total length of small intestine in a man is about 20 feet. The small intestine is divided into three, they are duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The inner walls of the ileum are covered with numerous small finger-like projections known as villi which provide a larger surface area for the absorption of digested food.
