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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The purpose of the large intestine is to absorb water and salts from the material that has not been digested as food, and get rid of any waste products left over. By the time food mixed with digestive juices reaches your large intestine, most digestion and absorption has already taken place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water-the absorption of these electrolytes creates an osmotic gradient to allow further absorption of water. Potassium-absorption of water along the length of the bowel concentrates potassium in the lumen. This provides an electrochemical gradient for the movement of potassium into the plasma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Large Intestine (Colon) The large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus. It’s all one, long tube that continues from the small intestine as food nears the end of its journey through your digestive system. The large intestine turns food waste into stool and passes it from the body when you poop.

Detailed explanation-5: -The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool.
