The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining undigested food materials, forming them into solid waste and eliminating them from the body through the rectum and anus.
It also houses beneficial bacteria that aid in the breakdown of some of the remaining undigested food particles and produces some vitamins.
The colon plays an important role in maintaining the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance, and its proper function is essential for overall digestive health.
