What nephron structures are involved with absorption?
The small and large intestines. The small intestine contains blood capillaries and lymph vessels.
How is small intestine better adapted for absorption than thatof large intestine?
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
What structures controls the passage of materials from the small intestine to the large intestine?
The iliocecal sphincterThe ileum is the last (and longest) portion of small intestine. It empties into into the cecum (the first part of the "large intestine") at the iliocecal junction. The iliocecal sphincter is a ring of invountary smooth muscle at this junction, controlling the passage of digestive contents from the small intestine to the large intestine.

small intestine, and water absorption occurs in the colon/large intestine
What medical term is the widest division of the large intestine?
The cecum is the widest division of the large intestine. It is located at the beginning of the large intestine, where the small intestine meets the large intestine.
Sacculations of the large intestine?
Sacculations are irregular folds or pouches that occur along the length of the large intestine, particularly in the colon. These structures increase the surface area available for water absorption and help with the compaction of fecal matter as it moves through the colon. Sacculations are a normal anatomical feature of the large intestine.
