Where in the digestive system is water absorbed into the bloodstream?

The small intestine must absorb massive quantities of water. A normal person or animal of similar size takes in roughly 1 to 2 liters of dietary fluid every day. On top of that, another 6 to 7 liters of fluid is received by the small intestine daily as secretions from salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and the small intestine itself. By the time the ingesta enters the large intestine, approximately 80% of this fluid has been absorbed.

Excess water is absorbed in which part of the digestive tract?

Where are the majority of the nutrients absorbed?
The body absorbs the food nutrients through the digestive tracts. The walls of the small intestine take it in then will travel on the body via the bloodstream.
Which hormone is involved in maintaining water absorption?
There are a couple of names for the hormone. Both vasopressin and antidiuretic hormone are the same thing. Increased blood levels of ADH (antidiuretic hormone) will cause more water resorption in the kidneys, and relative hemodilution. Please be aware that this answer pertains to water that has already been absorbed in the bloodstream. There is no hormone, per se, that maintains water absorption from the digestive system into the bloodstream. This absorption is driven exclusively by concentration gradient and osmotic pressure. There are no hormones involved.
