Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine absorbs water and changes the waste from liquid into stool. Peristalsis helps move the stool into your rectum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Absorption of ingested water and most solutes occurs in the proximal small intestine, therefore the rate at which beverages are emptied from the stomach is an important factor in determining the rate of water absorption.
Detailed explanation-3: -The job of your large intestine is to absorb water, minerals, and some of the remaining nutrients from your food. It will change the leftover waste into a bowel movement. This is also called stool. Your rectum stores the stool until you feel the need to have a bowel movement.
