The coiling of the small intestine is an adaptive feature. This coiling increases the surface area over which food absorption and digestion occurs in the small intestine. The coiling ensures that we can accommodate longer tracts of intestines in our abdomen thus increasing the length over which food is absorbed and digested.
The many folds of the small intestine, known as the villi also are important as they increase the surface over which food absorption takes place.
