What happens to food when it passes through the colon?
When food passes through the colon, water is absorbed to transform the food waste into feces.
Food is egested here?
Egestion of undigested food occurs in the large intestine or colon. This is where water is absorbed from the remaining material, forming feces which are then eliminated from the body through the rectum and anus.
Outcome if food passes too slowly or too rapidly through the colon?
If food passes too quickly through your colon it is not absorbed. If food passes too slowly through your colon it backs your system up.
What does the colon reabsorb?
The colon primarily reabsorbs water from digested food material, along with some electrolytes and vitamins. This helps in the formation of solid waste (stool) before it is eliminated from the body. The colon also absorbs some nutrients that were not absorbed in the small intestine.

What do animals do with their food once ingested?
Animals digest their food through a series of processes that break down the nutrients into smaller, absorbable molecules. These nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy, growth, and repair of body tissues. Waste products that cannot be digested are eliminated from the body as feces.
