Diff bet large and small intestine?
The large intestine is wider in diameter and shorter in length compared to the small intestine. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter, while the small intestine is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption from food. The small intestine has three sections (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) compared to the large intestine's four sections (cecum, colon, rectum, anal canal).
What is the name of the very long coiled tube-like organ that controls the flow of the food?
The long coiled tube-like organ that controls the flow of food is called the intestine, specifically the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption, while the large intestine focuses on water absorption and waste formation. Together, they play a crucial role in the digestive system.
What part of the gastrointestinal tract is responsible for 90 percent of nutrient absorption?
The lining of the small intestine is covered with tiny projections with many capillaries. The projections are called villi. Nutrients pass into the capillaries of the villi and then to other organs of the body.
Organ responsible for chemical digestion and absorbtion of food?
The small intestine is the organ responsible for both chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. Enzymes and bile break down the food, while nutrients are absorbed through the small intestine's lining into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
What animals has a large intestine that serves as a site for fermentation as well as absorption of water and electrolytes a dog or a horse or a cat or a sheep?
Horse and sheep have a large intestine that serves as a site for fermentation as well as absorption of water and electrolytes. Dogs and cats have a shorter and simpler large intestine compared to horses and sheep.
What is the organ responsible for food and water absorption?
The small intestine is where most nutrients are absorbed, but the large intestine is responsible for most water absorption
What is the portion of gastrointestinal tract that absorbs water?
The large intestine is responsible for absorption of water.
Most intestinal absorption occurs in the?
small intestine, and water absorption occurs in the colon/large intestine

What organ is responsible for drying out indigestible food residue through water absorption and the elimination of feces?
Large Intestine
What organ in the digestive system is responsible For nutrient absorption?
The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of nutrients.
Organ responsible for most foods and water absorption?
I have been studying health for about a year now, and I think it is the liver.
What is the funcition of the large intestine?
The main function of the large intestine is water absorption.
Absorption occurs in this part of the intestine?
large intestine (colon)
What part of the body the food is most likely to enter the bloodstream?
The stomach and the duodneum are responsible for digestion and the small and large intestine are responsible for absorption. the small intestine absorbs more but the large intestine is where the critical absortion of water (small amounts), electrolytes and bile sates occur.
The intestines are responsible for digestion but little absorption occurs there?
The small intestine is responsible for digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It also absorbs most nutrients. However, the large intestine is less active in it's processes. The large intestine only digests fiber and only absorbs water.
What are the names of the 2 intestines?
The names of the two intestines are the small intestine and the large intestine. The small intestine is where most digestion and absorption of nutrients occur, while the large intestine is primarily responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes while forming and expelling waste materials.
