What is the intestines job.?
The function of the intestines is to digest food. After leaving the stomach, the chyme enters the small intestine. This then moves along the small intestine, by the process of peristalsis. The small intestine lies between the stomach and large intestine and consists of three segments the duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively. The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the chyme. The large intestine, situated between the small intestine and anus consists of three segments as well, specifically the ascending colon, the transverse colon and the descending colon. The large intestine is largely responsible for the absorption of water from what's left of the chyme. The reason the water is absorbed at such a late stage is because the water aids the movement of the chyme from the stomach to the anus (from where it is excreted) by means of lubrication. Had water been absorbed at an earlier stage, the food may get stuck in our intestines or may be difficult to excrete.
