Which of the following is not characteristic of the large intestine? It ________.

Adoes not contain villi
Bexhibits external muscular bands called teniae coli
Cis longer than the small intestine
Dhas haustra

Verified Answer :

The answer is C. is longer than the small intestine.

The large intestine does not contain villi, but the small intestine contains. It has haustra and 
exhibits external muscular bands called teniae coli. So, a statement under C remains as false. The large intestine is not called large because it is longer than the small intestine. It is, actually, wider than the small intestine. Also, the small intestine is the longer part of alimentary canals, and, thus, the small intestine is longer than the large intestine.
