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
What event occurs in the large intestine?
The large intestine goes into a more deeper form of digestion and removes water and other moisture from the waste. The large intestine prepare the toxins for excretions.
What even occurs in the large intestine?
Water from food is absorbed by the body
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.
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.
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.
