Which of the following do you think will happen if a person does not have his large intestine? (tick 2)
A
digested food cannot be absorbed.
B
water cannot be absorbed from undigested food.
C
faeces cannot be formed
D
diarrhoea (runny stools)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Essential salts and fluids, as well as nutrients from the food that you eat, end up being passed through the colon too quickly. With less fluid being absorbed by the body, the result is loose or watery stools, which is more commonly known as diarrhea.

Detailed explanation-2: -Diarrhea causes you to lose even more fluids. You also lose salts and minerals such as sodium, chloride, and potassium. These salts and minerals affect the amount of water that stays in your body. Dehydration can be serious, especially for children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although diarrhea associated with some GI disorders appears related to either the small or large bowel, in many cases the disease process involves both small and large intestines. Diarrhea of “mixed bowel” origin has some characteristics of both small and large bowel diarrhea.
