large intestine

The large intestine is the portion of the digestive system most responsible for absorption of water from the indigestible residue of food.

The ileocecal valve of the ileum (small intestine) passes material into the large intestine at the cecum. Material passes through the ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid portions of the colon, and finally into the rectum. From the rectum, the waste is expelled from the body.

Functions

The 4 major functions of the large intestine are recovery of water and electrolytes, formation and storage of faeces and fermentation of some of the indigestible food matter by bacteria.

The ileocaecal valve controls the entry of material from the last part of the small intestine called the ileum.
