The human microbiome ~ see related link below .
Bacteria are found in the large intestine (strictly speaking, bacteria are found everywhere, but there are a particularly large number of them in the large intestine).
Bacteria
Minor fiber digestion by bacteria goes on in the large intestine, and water is absorbed, but no major lipid/protein/carbohydrate digestion occurs. All of that goes on higher up in the system.
The digestion that occurs in the large intestine is mainly caused by the action of gut bacteria. These bacteria help break down and ferment undigested food particles, producing essential nutrients and gases like methane and hydrogen. This process also plays a role in the absorption of water and electrolytes.
The large intestine in the human body has to do with the digestion process because it has a job to absorb all the salt and liquid of the food. Hope this helps!
The primary role of the large intestine is reabsorption of water from stool. It also absorbs some nutrients not taken up efficiently by the small intestine, and houses most of the symbiotic bacteria in your gut.
The stomach has the lowest pH in the body due to the presence of hydrochloric acid, which helps in digestion by breaking down food and killing bacteria.
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
The large intestine contains bacteria that make vitamins for the body.
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
To expel the gas released by bacteria that aid in digestion during the nutrient absorption process in your large intestine!
