Water from food is absorbed by the body
What else can I help you with?
Most intestinal absorption occurs in the?
small intestine, and water absorption occurs in the colon/large intestine
Absorption occurs in this part of the intestine?
large intestine (colon)
WHAT IS THE digestion that occurs in the large intestine is caused by?
Bacteria
Where most absorption of water occurs?
large intestine
Which event occurs in the large intestine?
water is recovered
Much of the digestion that occurs in the large intestine is caused by?
The digestion that occurs in the large intestine is mainly caused by the action of gut bacteria. These bacteria help break down and ferment undigested food particles, producing essential nutrients and gases like methane and hydrogen. This process also plays a role in the absorption of water and electrolytes.
True or false most absorption occurs in the large intestine?
False. Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, but not significant amounts of nutrients.
Why Digestion does not occur in large intestine?
Minor fiber digestion by bacteria goes on in the large intestine, and water is absorbed, but no major lipid/protein/carbohydrate digestion occurs. All of that goes on higher up in the system.
Where in the body is food absorbed through the villi?
Yes, absorption in the small intestine occurs through the villi.
What occurs only in the large intestine?
water is taken out of food in the large intestine. Goodness and nutrients are taken out in th esmall intestine
What is the organ primarily involved in water absorbstion and feces formation?
The intestines, but water reabsorption occurs mostly in the lower small intestines. Feces formation along with some more fluid absorption occurs in the colon of the large intestines. But the large intestines' primary job is to compact liquid waste into solid waste.
Does colon cancer occur most often in the large or small intestines?
Colon cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the large intestine (colon), which is the final part of the digestive tract12. The large intestine is about 5 feet long and absorbs water and salt from the food that passes through it. The small intestine, also called the small bowel, is a long tube that connects the stomach and the large intestine. It is about 20 feet long and is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients from the food that enters it. Cancer of the small intestine is much less common than cancer of the large intestine. There are different types of small bowel cancer, such as adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, lymphoma, and sarcoma. Therefore, colon cancer occurs most often in the large intestine, not the small intestine.
