Water is primarily absorbed from fecal matter in the large intestine, specifically in the colon. As the contents move through the colon, the walls absorb water and electrolytes, which helps to form solid stool. This process is crucial for maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance in the body. Any remaining water in the fecal matter is expelled during defecation.

The removal of fecal matter from the body occurs through a process called defecation. This process begins in the large intestine, where water is reabsorbed and feces are formed.

The anal sphincters then relax, allowing the feces to be expelled from the body through the anus.
