Is the large intestine the primary site for absorption of water?
Yes, the large intestine is the primary site for absorption of water in the digestive system. It absorbs water and salts from the indigestible food matter passed on from the small intestine, helping to form solid waste products (feces) for elimination.
The primary organ responsible for absorption of products of digestion?
The primary organ of digestion and absorption of nutrients is the small intestine, especially the duodenum.In general, you could say the stomach breaks down the food, the small intestine digests and absorbs the food, and the large intestine absorbs water.
What organ is responsible for food and water absorption?
The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of food and water. It has specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area available for absorption. Nutrients and water are absorbed into the bloodstream through these structures.
Which organ absorbs water and vitamin k from digested food?
The colon (large intestine) is responsible for absorbing water and vitamin K from digested food. Water absorption helps to form solid waste, while vitamin K absorption is important for blood clotting and bone health.
The region of the stomach that empties into the duodenum is the?
The region of the stomach that empties into the duodenum is the pyloric region, specifically through the pyloric sphincter. This sphincter regulates the flow of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
Primary region of food and water absorbtion?
small intestine
What is primary absorption?
If your asking about primary absorption in digestion and the absorption of nutrients into the body, then primary absorption is the first (primary) place in the body where nutrients are absorbed. In humans this takes place in the small intestines after the food has been broken down in the stomach and passed on to the small intestine.
How important is the small intestine?
very, it is the primary place for food absorption
Is the large intestine the primary site for absorption of water?
Yes, the large intestine is the primary site for absorption of water in the digestive system. It absorbs water and salts from the indigestible food matter passed on from the small intestine, helping to form solid waste products (feces) for elimination.
Why would anyone find the sharpest drop in the amount of undigested food left in large intestine?
Because a large percentage of the volume of undigested food is actually water, and the colon (large intestine) is a primary site of water absorption.
What are the functions of the small and large intestines?
the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver
What are the functions of the large and small intestines?

What are the function of the small and large intestins?
the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver
What is the organ responsible for food and water absorption?
The small intestine is where most nutrients are absorbed, but the large intestine is responsible for most water absorption
What is done in large intestine?
the absorption of water from absorbed food particles
Do stomach absorb water and mineral salts from undigested food?
The stomach primarily functions to digest food through mechanical and chemical processes, rather than absorbing nutrients. While it does absorb some water and certain mineral salts, the majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. The stomach's primary role is to break down food and prepare it for further digestion and absorption in subsequent digestive organs.
What are the vessels for passage of food and water?
The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach, while the intestines are responsible for the absorption of nutrients and water from the food.
