HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates. Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as faeces before being removed by egestion or defecation.

Detailed explanation-2: -It takes several hours for food to reach the large intestine through the digestive tract. The minerals and water from the remaining food, that is left undigested, are absorbed in the large intestine. The goblet cells consume excess water from the undigested food residues in the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The large intestine’s main job is to remove water from the undigested matter and form solid waste (poop) to be excreted.

Detailed explanation-5: -The removal of indigestible wastes through the anus, in the form of feces, is defecation or elimination.
