Chyme released from the stomach enters the small intestine, which is the primary digestive organ in the body. Not only is this where most digestion occurs, it is also where practically all absorption occurs. The longest part of the alimentary canal, the small intestine is about 3.05 meters (10 feet) long in a living person (but about twice as long in a cadaver due to the loss of muscle tone). Since this makes it about five times longer than the large intestine, you might wonder why it is called “small.” In fact, its name derives from its relatively smaller diameter of only about 2.54 cm (1 in), compared with 7.62 cm (3 in) for the large intestine. As we’ll see shortly, in addition to its length, the folds and projections of the lining of the small intestine work to give it an enormous surface area, which is approximately 200 m2, more than 100 times the surface area of your skin. This large surface area is necessary for complex processes of digestion and absorption that occur within it.
ANSWER is muscular strength. Weight lifting does not require a lot of energy and is mainly meant to build more muscle. Flexibility deals with how much the body can stretch.

Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, and tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs. Sensory information is transmitted, which includes the brain and spinal cord.
