ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Waste products from the digestive process include undigested parts of food, fluid, and older cells from the lining of your GI tract. The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine: The large intestine’s main job is to remove water from the undigested matter and form solid waste (poop) to be excreted.

Detailed explanation-3: -The large intestine (or colon, or large bowel) is the last structure to process food, taking the undigestible matter from the small intestine, absorbing water from it and leaving the waste product called feces.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water is absorbed by the large intestine by osmosis, with diffusion occurring in accordance with the osmotic gradient. Sodium is absorbed by the sodium/potassium pump in the colon, which diffuses potassium and sodium in opposite directions due to the formation of concentration gradients.

Detailed explanation-5: -The large intestine is the last part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the long, tube-like pathway that food travels through your digestive system. It follows from the small intestine and ends at the anal canal, where food waste leaves your body.
