The total length of the human small and large intestine is more than 6 meters. And the height of an adult

The total length of the human small and large intestine is more than 6 meters. And the height of an adult is about 1 m 70 cm. Moreover, the entire intestine is located in the abdominal cavity! How does it fit in such a small space?

The fact is that the intestines are compactly folded in the abdominal cavity with coils. This saves space. The small intestine looks like a ball in the central part of the abdomen, but the thick section is located differently, its parts seem to outline the abdominal cavity. Because of this, the portions of the large intestine are referred to as the ascending, transverse, descending and S-like portions, respectively. So that the intestine does not change its position, the mesentery fixes it.
