What type of movements take place in the large intestine and why?
The type of movement that occurs in the large intestine is called peristaltic action. This is a series of rhythmic contractions of smooth muscles that are in the walls of the intestines. The intestines are composed of many small pouches called haustra. And as peristaltic action continues, feces in the large intestine move from one haustra to another until it finally reaches the anal canal and anus. Then when the internal and external sphincters relax, the feces is expelled from the body.
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.
How is poop made?
Poop is made by your digestive system. When you first take a bite of food, the process starts. The saliva in your mouth starts to break down the food. You then swallow the food sending it down your esophagus to your stomach. In your stomach, it meets up with hydrochloric acid that breaks it down into a pulp-like substance. Your stomach then contracts and sends it into your small intestines, where vitamins and nutrients are extracted. It continues down the intestines into the large intestines. The large intestines continue to pull liquid out of the feces. Once the feces is through the large intestines, it waits at the bottom, in your rectum, until you make a bowel movement... Or poop.
Why is the small intestines the main part of the digestive system?
The small intestines are important in the digestive system. There are small finger like structures in the Small intestines called villi, these villi extract the nutrients and take it into the blood stream. Without the small intestines you would not be able to extract nutrients from the food.
