Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After dinner, you have a bad case of diarrhea. Which organ is most likely not functioning properly?
A
stomach
B
small intestine
C
large intestine
D
liver
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Watery diarrhea happens when your colon is unable to absorb enough water and electrolytes from your poop and/or when it’s secreting more than it’s absorbing. The osmotic type is caused by poorly absorbed nutrients that draw extra water into your colon. (This is how osmotic laxatives work.)

Detailed explanation-2: -When the cells in your small intestine or colon are irritated, the relaxed and regular movement of your intestines can become overactive. Essential salts and fluids, as well as nutrients from the food that you eat, end up being passed through the colon too quickly.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine absorbs nutrients and water from your food. If these functions are impaired, you may experience nutritional deficiencies and watery stools (diarrhea). The muscle movements of the small intestine help break food down and process it through your body.
