Colon and Large Intestine =)
The large intestine is responsible for reabsorbing excess water from digested food material. As the material passes through the large intestine, the water is reabsorbed, forming more solid waste known as feces.
The small intestine is longer than the large intestine. In adults, the small intestine typically measures about 20 feet (6 meters) in length, while the large intestine is only about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. The small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption, whereas the large intestine primarily absorbs water and forms waste.
It is passed along to the large intestine, where water and other substances are absorbed. Helpful bacteria in the large intestine can break down undigested materials into soluble forms, including some important vitamins.
