Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine is one of the many important parts of your digestive tract. This is a series of organs that starts with your mouth and ends with your anus, the opening of your rectum. The food that you eat passes from your mouth through your esophagus to your stomach.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The long, tube-like organ that is connected to the small intestine at one end and the anus at the other. The large intestine has four parts: cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal. Partly digested food moves through the cecum into the colon, where water and some nutrients and electrolytes are removed.
