The large intestine differs from the small intestine in length, diameter, and function. The small intestine is longer than the large intestine, but has a smaller diameter. The small intestine is directly connected to the stomach.

The large intestine comes after the small. Its primary function is to capture water from the waste materials that pass to it from the small intestine. It also serves as a place to store the waste solids until they can be eliminated from the body.

Where does chyme enter the large intestine through?

Chyme enters the large intestine through the ileocecal valve, which is located at the junction of the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine (cecum). This valve helps regulate the flow of chyme and prevents backflow into the small intestine. Once in the large intestine, chyme is converted into feces through water absorption and fermentation of undigested materials.
