undigested food enters the large intestine. Most of the digestion is done in stomach and small intestine, the rest enters the colon. some complex polysaccharides are broken into simpler forms by bacteria living in the cecum and colon. Other than that it's only assimilation and formation of stool in the large intestine.

How does the function of the stomach differ from that of the small intestines?

The stomach serves first as a receptacle for swallowed food. Second, it begins the chemical digestion of the food by bathing the food in acid, turning it into kind of mush. The small intestine is where the nutrients are absorbed from the food. Anything that is not absorbed into the bloodstream is considered waste and fiber. This is passed on to the large intestine where is is eventually eliminated.
