What do the large intestion do?
The main function of the large intestines is to consolidate and propel unused and undigested food material towards the anus for expulsion. It also provides a site for the manufacture of some vitamins (B and K) that are then absorbed into the blood stream; and is also the last point of water re-absorption Diarrhea is caused by any condition that expels the fecal matter before water re-absorption has had a chance to occur.
What are the four stages of processing food that occur in the human body?
The four stages of processing food in the human body are ingestion (taking in food), digestion (breaking down food into nutrients), absorption (absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream), and elimination (removing waste).
Where does absorption of glucose occur?

Is absorption mechanical or chemical?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
What processes only occur in the large intestine?
Undigested food passes along through the large intestine, here the water is absorbed from the undigested food into the body. Once it has passed along the undigested food ends up in the rectum.
Is absorption mechanical or chemical digestion?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
How long digestion?
After food is chewed it takes 5-10 seconds for it to pass down the esophagus and into the stomach, where it spends 2-6 hours being partially digested. Final digestion and nutrient absorption occur in the small intestine over a period of 5-6 hours. In 12-24 hours, any undigested material passes through the large intestine, and feces are expelled through the anus.
Is there a timeline for digestion?

What is absorption in physics?
Absorption in physics refers to the process by which matter takes in energy or particles from its surroundings. This can occur in various forms, such as the absorption of light by a material, the absorption of sound waves by a medium, or the absorption of energy by an electron transitioning to a higher energy level.
What does nutrient absorption occur?
small intestine
Where absorption of water occur?
large intestine
Where specifically the absorption of fats occur?
