What else can I help you with?
Does the amount of digested food digested in the large intestine increases?
The volume of the undigested food decreases as it passes through the large intestine. As the colon absorbs excess water from undigested food waste, the volume of that waste decreases.
Does drinking kill good bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract?
No. Not usually. The alcohol is used by the body as any other source of food. It is absorbed long before it reaches the colon where most of them live.
What feeds on the undigested food in the digestive tract to help complete digestion?
The gut microbiota, which consists of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms, help to break down undigested food in the digestive tract. These microorganisms aid in fermentation and breakdown of certain nutrients, helping to complete digestion and extract additional energy from food.
What body organs excrete undigested foods?
The large intestine and rectum are responsible for excreting undigested food in the form of feces. These organs absorb water and nutrients from the food, leaving behind waste products that are then expelled from the body.
What does the large intestine do in the stomach?
The large intestine, also known as the colon, is not located in the stomach but is connected to the stomach and small intestine. It primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, forms and stores feces, and plays a role in maintaining the balance of gut bacteria.
Were does feces came from?
Undigested food, toxins bacteria and mucus passed to the colon out of the body
Where is the water removed from undigested food?
The colon.
What happens to undigested food in a human?

What is a feces made of?
Undigested food, toxins bacteria
Undigested food will have its water removed when it reaches this organ?
The large intestine.
What is produced when bacteria break down undigested food?
gas
How are farts produced?
Farts are produced when bacteria in the colon break down undigested food, releasing gases such as methane, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. These gases are then expelled through the rectum as flatulence.
Can fat build up in the colon?
A build up in the colon is not usually fat. More often than not, it is a build up of undigested food.
Where feces form?
In humans and most animals the nutrients are transported by the blood to all the cells of the body. The undigested food reaches into the ileo-cecal valve and enters the large intestine or colon. The colon absorbs water, manufactures vitamins, produces mucous, and form and expels feces.
What organs help digest vitamins?
small intestine
What absorbs the water and minerals from the remaining undigested food?
The large intestine(colon/bowel).
Does the amount of digested food digested in the large intestine increases?
The volume of the undigested food decreases as it passes through the large intestine. As the colon absorbs excess water from undigested food waste, the volume of that waste decreases.
