After traveling through the small intestine, food passes into the large intestine (colon). In the large intestine, some of the water and electrolytes (chemicals like sodium) are removed from the food. Many microbes (bacteria like Bacteroides, Lactobacilus, acidophilus, Escherichia coli) in the large intestine help in the digestion process. The first part of the large intestine is called the Cecum (the appendix is connected to the cecum). Food then travels upward through the ascending colon. The food travels across the abdomen in the transverse colon, goes back down the other side of the body in the descending colon, and then through the sigmoid colon where it waits at the rectum to be passed through the anus and expelled.
During digestion, the stomach breaks down food into smaller pieces through the action of stomach acid and enzymes. This process helps to further break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. The stomach also churns and mixes the food to aid in digestion.
The small intestine empties into the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine or colon. This is where the small intestine connects to the large intestine, allowing for the continuation of digestion and absorption of nutrients.
During digestion, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
During digestion, lipids break down into fatty acids and glycerol.
One product formed during the digestion of triglycerides is fatty acids.

During Colon Surgery your Surgeon will make a cut into your abdomen and take away the part of the colon that has the cancer. He will also take away a small section of the normal part of the colon on either side of the cancer. Then the rest of the pieces of you colon are then reattached. Nearby lymph nodes are taken out and then your Surgeon will close the cut he made earlier.
The last place for your digestion is your large intestine (also known as your colon) followed by your small intestine.
Intestinal glands are located in the epithelial lining of the small intestine and colon. What happens when the intestinal glands secrete intestinal juice is that trypsin activates other enzymes to aid in protein digestion.
