The small intestine' (lat. intestinum tenue) is the longest tubular organ of the digestive system. It comprises the part of the intestine from the exit of the stomach to the Bauhin valve, which marks the transition to the large intestine (lat. Intestinum crassum). The small intestine is of great importance for digestion and nutrient absorption.
