Detailed explanation-1: -Once foods are broken into small enough parts, your body can absorb and move the nutrients to where they are needed. Your large intestine absorbs water, and the waste products of digestion become stool. Nerves and hormones help control the digestive process.
Detailed explanation-2: -The large intestine is much broader than the small intestine and takes a much straighter path through your belly, or abdomen. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
