GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The role of the ascending colon is to absorb the remaining water and other key nutrients from the indigestible material, solidifying it to form stool. The descending colon stores feces that will eventually be emptied into the rectum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine functions to absorb any excess water from the material it receives from the small intestine. This also involves the collection of electrolytes, which move with water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The large intestine’s main job is to remove water from the undigested matter and form solid waste (poop) to be excreted. The large intestine has three parts: The cecum (pronounced: SEE-kum) is the beginning of the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Small intestine. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. As peristalsis continues, the waste products of the digestive process move into the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The large intestine is the portion of the digestive system most responsible for absorption of water from the indigestible residue of food. The ileocecal valve of the ileum (small intestine) passes material into the large intestine at the cecum.
