I believe its the cecum, colon, rectum and the anal canal :D . Yay school!!..lol
The large intestine is typically around 5 feet long in adults. It is divided into sections such as the cecum, colon, and rectum, which together play a key role in absorbing water from food and forming waste into stool before it is eliminated from the body.
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).
Length of the large intestine is only 50 inches. The length of the small intestine is about 20 feet. Still the former is called as large intestine. It is because the diameter of the intestine is very large as compared to small intestine.
Materials enter the large intestine through the ileocecal valve, which is located between the small intestine and the large intestine. It helps regulate the flow of material from the small intestine into the large intestine.
The flap of tissue where the small intestine and large intestine join is called the ileocecal valve. It helps regulate the flow of digested food from the small intestine into the large intestine, preventing backflow.
The large intestines is also known as the colon. The colon is divided into four sections called the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon.
Two. (They are attached at the ileum). The intestines are the portion of the digestive tract between stomach and the anus. They are divided into two major sections: small intestine and large intestine. The small intestine averages 20 feet long. It is coiled in the center of the abdominal cavity. It is divided into 3 sections: upper, jejunum, and ileum. The lining of the small intestine secretes a hormone called secretin, which causes the pancreas to produce digestive enzymes. The large intestine is wider but is only about 5 ft. long. The large intestine is divided into 6 parts: cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.
The large intestine is called the colon, while enteron is a term for the intestine, both small and large.

The large intestine is typically around 5 feet long in adults. It is divided into sections such as the cecum, colon, and rectum, which together play a key role in absorbing water from food and forming waste into stool before it is eliminated from the body.
The diameter of the large intestine is greater than that of the 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).
The small intestine are divided into three sections. In order of the digestive tract, they are the duodenum, jujenum, and the ilium. The small intestines are responsible for absorbing nutrients from the chyme (chyme is what the undigested mixture of food and enzymes is called). The large intestines are divided intonine sections. They start at the iliocecal valve to the first section of the large intestine called the cecum, acsending colon, hepatic flexure (the hepatic flexure is where the colo takes a turn under the liver), transverse colon, the splenic flexure (the splenic flexure is where the colon turns downward under the spleen), decsending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and the anus. The large intestines are responsible for reabsorbing water and some electrolytes. It is in the large intestine that the chyme is called feces.
Its called the large intestinebecauseits thicker than the small intestine which isthinner
the small intestine is called so because of its thickness not length . therefore the large intestine is called so because it is fat.
Length of the large intestine is only 50 inches. The length of the small intestine is about 20 feet. Still the former is called as large intestine. It is because the diameter of the intestine is very large as compared to small intestine.
