The main function of the large intestines is to consolidate and propel unused and undigested food material towards the anus for expulsion. It also provides a site for the manufacture of some vitamins (B and K) that are then absorbed into the blood stream; and is also the last point of water re-absorption Diarrhea is caused by any condition that expels the fecal matter before water re-absorption has had a chance to occur.
