Is it true that your intestines are 26 miles long?

According to the slithery sites in our Digestive System category, we have about thirty feet of intestines in our body! The small intestine, where most of the digesting happens, is over twenty-two feet long! The inner surface of the small intestine is covered with millions of tiny finger-like extensions called villi. These villi absorb the nutrients from the food and pass them into the blood supply. The large intestine, or colon, is about six feet long. It reabsorbs water from the undigested food passed on from the small intestine. A meal usually stays in your stomach for around three hours, but can stay in your digestive system for up to three days.

It is about 17 to 22 miles.

It depends on how you unravel it. The intestine is coiled not only by the tube, but also within the tube there is an incredible amount of surface area in order to absorb nutrients (and in the case of the large intestine) water. If you were to lay this epithelial tissue out flat, then uncoil the actual coiled organ, it may stretch pretty far. I'm not sure about the entire world, though.

Yes.  To be more explicit, the oncologist may tell you if it is in the small intestine, or the large intestine.

The human intestine is a necessary part of the digestive system. The human digestive system consists of the mouth, the throat (pharynx), the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intestine. Specifically, the human intestine consists of two parts, the small intestine and the large intestine.\n\nThe small intestine is a long, narrow, coiled tube extending from the stomach to the large intestine. This is the place where most digestion and absorption of food takes place. The small intestine of a human can be as long as six to eight meters long, depending on age and size of being. So much length can be compacted into so little space because of the nature of the small intestine; it is coiled and takes up less space, while maintaining it's enormous surface area.\n\nThe large intestine is the posterior or end of the human intestine that consists of four regions the, the cecum, the colon, the rectum and the anal canal. The large intestine is wider but shorter than the small intestine. It measures approximately 1.5 meters in length and its primary function is to absorb water and electrolytes that have already passed unabsorbed through the small intestine.\n\nIn mathematics, as well as physics, the value of the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. Therefore the average length of the human intestine is equal to the length of the small intestine added to the length of the large intestine. As a result the average length of the human intestine can be anywhere from 6 to 8.5 meters in length depending on size and age of the person it occupies.

I think it's about 3000 miles, but that's just a vague rememberance and extremely rough as it is. Wiki it.
