what happened to the undigested food in our body
Answers
Answer:
Undigested food enters your large intestine from your small intestine. It then reabsorbs water that is used in digestion and eliminates undigested food and fibre. This causes food waste products to harden and form faeces, which are then excreted.
Location: Surrounding your small intestine
Function: To convert food waste products into faeces
System: Digestive
Physical description: 1.5 metre-long tube
Explanation:
The undigested food from the stomach enters the small intestine where it is acted upon by the pancreatic juices and the intestinal enzymes. The villi of the small intestine absorb nutrients and also increase the surface area for absorption.
The undigested food from the small intestine enters the large intestine where water is absorbed. From there, the semi-slid mass is transferred to the rectum where it is stored for some time and then it is expelled out of the body through the anus.
