The large intestines "soaks up" for a lack of a better term, all of the nutrients that you have have taken in and that your stomach has turned into a paste. When this process is done your small intestines basically packs the waste and stores it until you have to "go".
yes it is! but the large intestine is shorter then the small intestine...Did that help? Hope I did! :)
The small intestine is where your food goes after the stomach. The small intestine digests your food, then sends it to the large intestine.
the three glands that help to complete the digestion are large, intestine small intestine and kidney
They are the large and small intestine
The large intestine is attached to the posterior to the small intestine and as you maybe already know the small intestine is where food wastes go and bile is secreted into. The large intestine reabsorbs water from the ingested food particles before they enter the rectum and colon for excretion.
After the small intestine, the digested food enters the large intestine, also known as the colon. The main function of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and to help the body eliminate solid waste.
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.
small intestine
They help in metabolism i.e the breaking down of large food substances.
Every solid swallowed food, that was not digested by the time it reaches the end of the small intestine; is collected in the large intestine, which gets some water to help it pass through to the colon and out the body.
they don't empty anything- they only secrete liquids that help digest into the small intestine.
