The large intestine does not absorb any nutrients only water. According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_intestine The bacteria in the large intestine will generate some vitamins including vitamin K and some short chain fatty acids that are absorbed in the large intestine.

Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?
Nutrients and oxygen are carried to the cells of the body by the bloodstream. Nutrients are mostly transported by the circulatory system after being absorbed from the digestive system, while oxygen is carried by red blood cells through the process of respiration.
What organ holds solid waste?
The large intestine, specifically the colon, holds solid waste in the body before it is eliminated as feces.
The function of the large intestine is to absorb?
The function of the large intestine is to allow for small amount of absorption but mostly for removal of wastes from the body after absorption and digestion in the small intestine. Each section of the large intestine - cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and anal canal all have specific purposes.
How do cells of the goblet sponge get essential nutrients and gases?
Cells of the goblet sponge obtain essential nutrients and gases through a process called diffusion. This means that they absorb these substances directly from the surrounding water through their cell membranes. This allows the cells to take in the resources they need for metabolism and growth.
What is the inside of a cell and is mostly made of water proteinsions and nutrients?
The inside of a cell, known as the cytoplasm, is a gel-like substance composed mostly of water, proteins, ions, and nutrients. It is where many cellular processes take place, such as metabolism, protein synthesis, and energy production. The cytoplasm also contains various organelles that serve specific functions within the cell.
The large intestine is where digestion of food is completed and most nutrients are absorb?
No that's the small intestine, the large intestine is mostly for the abosorption of water
What part of the alimentary canal absorbs nutrients?
The part of the digestive system that absorbs nutrients is the small intestines. They absorb essential nutrients from food into the blood stream.
Place where nutrients enter the blood in the circulatory system?
Nutrients from food and beverage is absorbed inside the walls of the small intestine. As we digest our food, all nutrients are taken in the small intestine and would most probably then enter our bloodstream from there on.
What happens to the food once it is absorbed into the body in the small intestines?
Nutrients are mostly absorbed in the small intestine and certain kinds of nutrients are absorbed in the large intestine. Most of the water is absorbed in the large intestine as well. Then the rest of the wastes goes through the rectum.can i have short santences about intestines
What organ take nutrients from your food and puts it in your bloodstream?
It is small intestine made of three parts duodenum, jejunum and ileum. And mostly jejunum and ileum are responsible for absorbing nutrients .
Names of the materials are absorbed by the small and large intestine?
The small intestine absorbs nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, while the large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes. Examples of nutrients absorbed in the small intestine include glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, while water and electrolytes like sodium and potassium are absorbed in the large intestine.
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through small finger-like nodules on the wall of the?
intestine called villi. Villi increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and other essential compounds. From the villi, nutrients pass into tiny blood vessels called capillaries and then enter the bloodstream, where they are transported throughout the body to support various functions.
By time the food leaves the small intestine it contain virtually no?
By the time food leaves the small intestine, it contains virtually no nutrients left to be absorbed. The small intestine is where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs, so by the time the food reaches the end of the small intestine, most of the nutrients have already been taken up by the body. Any remaining waste material is then passed on to the large intestine for further processing.
What part of the small intestine connects to the stomach mostly for chemical digestion takes place?
The duodenum is the part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach. The food moves through the pylorus from the stomach to the small intestine.
What remains in the small intestines after nutrients have passed through its walls?
Chyme (thick, semi-fluid mass of food). Chyme is undigestible material plus water. When it moves into the small intestine, the water will be mostly removed and what is left will be excreted as feces.
How is the function of the small intestine different from the function of the large intestine?
The stomach and small intestine both help with digestion. However, the stomach breaks down the food with acids and is mostly a large cavity, while the small intestine absorbs the nutrients and is a long winding path.
Although chemical digestion occurs throughout the digestive system it mostly occurs in the?
The stomach and the small intestine are the most important part for digestion. You CAN NOT live without a small intestine, since most nutrients are also absorbed from there also.
