THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -As you drink water, it enters your stomach and is quickly processed through to your small intestine. The large intestine (colon) also absorbs some water. Nearly all the water is absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. 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 colon helps to absorb a small volume of water from the lumen (400ml/day).

Detailed explanation-4: -Assertion :Water and electrolytes are almost fully absorbed in the large Intestine. Reason: In large intestine, haustral contractions (slow segmenting movements) roll the forming faeces over and over, causing absorption of water and electrolytes.
