What is the portion of small intestine that joins the large intestine?
The portion of the small intestine that joins the large intestine is called the ileum. It connects to the large intestine at a region known as the cecum, which is the beginning of the large intestine. The ileum is responsible for the absorption of nutrients and bile salts before the remaining undigested food passes into the large intestine for further processing.
What are the specific regions and anatomical landmarks of the large intestine?
The large intestine consists of three distinct regions: 1) the cecum, 2) the colon, and 3) the rectum. The cecum is the first section of the large intestine below the ileocecal valve. The appendix is attached to the cecum. Since the colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon) is the largest region of the large intestine, the term "colon" is often applied to the entire large intestine. The rectum (rectum, anal canal, and anus) is the final region of the large intestine and the end of the digestive tract

What order are the regions from highest absorption to lowest?

This is because the majority of nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine, while the large intestine mainly absorbs water and electrolytes, and the stomach mainly serves for initial digestion.
