Almost 90% of our daily fluid intake is absorbed in the small intestine.The small intestine is covered with villi and microvilli. They increase the surface area of the intestinal wall exposed to chyme by 60,000%. The increased surface area makes the small intestine very efficient in absorption. Capillaries in the villi absorb amino acids, glucose, fructose, and galactose while lacteals absorb fatty acid and glycerol to travel through the lymphatic vessels.
The large intestine serves as a reservoir for the liquids emptied into it, through the ileocecal valve, from the small intestine. It has a much larger diameter than the small intestine.

The primary function of the colon is to absorb water and electrolytes (substances, such as salts, that in solution take on an electrical charge) from the ileal contents and to store fecal material until it can be evacuated by defecation.
