Several reactions occur in the large intestine. Basically, the large intestine is the place where the remaining water from our food waste gets absorbed and through bacterial mechanisms the waste is reduced and compacted to prepare it for evacuation thru the anus.
the large intestine
It absorbs all the calcium.
chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine large intestine,mouth and stomach. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and minerals in the large intestine.
The large intestine, no digestion takes place there. The large intestine passes along the waste product and it exits through the anus.
Water absorption takes place in both the small and large intestine's. Around 90% of water absorption takes place in the small intestines, equally between all three sections. The remainder of the water absorption to produce "formed" faeces takes place in the large intestines.
some of the water and electrolytes (chemicals like sodium) are removed from the food. microbes help in the digestion process,like ecoli
Trust me!! This was on my science test!! I hope it helped!~
The small intestine is in the gastrointestinal tract after the stomach. It is followed by the large intestine. A lot of the digestion and absorption of food takes place here.
the small intestine absorbs and digests food. the big intestine takes out waste from your body.
Yes. This occurs initially in the stomach and small intestine. After digestion, further metabolism takes place in the liver, for example.
In the small intestine, through villosities that is a epitelial sinuosity that amplifies the area of contact. The principal function of the villosities is to increase the absorption of the nutrients after the digestion.
No. Horses are hind-gut fermentors. They have a monogastric (single-chambered stomach), but a very large cecum where the small intestine joins onto the large intestine. This is where most of the fermentation takes place.
