Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine absorbs the extra water and bile salts from the digested food. If it does not do so, we may face the problem of constant diarrhea. Also, Large intestine stored undigested waste food residues and signals to defaecate. So if large intestine stops functioning, it will result in constipation as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -By the time indigestible materials have reached the colon, most nutrients and up to 90% of the water has been absorbed by the small intestine. 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-3: -Diarrhea happens when stool passes through the large intestine too quickly. Constipation occurs when stool passes through the large intestine too slowly. Bowel incontinence is a problem controlling your bowel movements. Other abnormalities with bowel movements may be a sign of a digestive problem.
