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.
Water from food is absorbed by the body
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.
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.
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.
Yes, absorption in the small intestine occurs through the villi.
water is taken out of food in the large intestine. Goodness and nutrients are taken out in th esmall intestine
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.
