Give functions of the following

2.Rumen

4. Villi
5.colon​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey there

Explanation:

The cecum is the most proximal part of the large intestine and is located between the ileum (distal small bowel) and the ascending colon. Having served as a site for cellulose digestion in our ancestors, the cecum now simply acts as a reservoir for chyme which it receives from the ileum.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.The main functions of the cecum are to absorb fluids and salts that remain after completion of intestinal digestion and absorption and to mix its contents with a lubricating substance, mucus

2.The rumen (on the left side of the animal) is the largest stomach compartment and consists of several sacs.

3. The epiglottis is a small, movable "lid" just above the larynx that prevents food and drink from entering your windpipe

4. Intestinal villi are a unique structural and functional unit for the luminal sensing, digestion, absorption, secretion, and immune defense in the small intestine.

5. The colon's primary job is to form the one-and-a-half quarts of fluid (the food you ingested mixed with digestive juices) into a firm stool for passage out of the body
