Colon and Large Intestine =)
The large intestine is part of the digestive system. The main function is to absorb water from the partially digested matter that has come from the stomach. It then will pass on the matter that was not absorbed from the body by way of the anus.
The small intestine is in the gastrointestinal tract after the stomach. It is followed by the large intestine. A lot of the digestion and absorption of food takes place here.
The large intestine acts like any other large instestine in any animal: it absorbs excess water from the fecal matter before being expelled through the anus.
