Large Intestines

Large Intestines

The large intestine is part of the body's digestive system. The large intestine is made up of the following structures: the cecum, appendix, colon, and the rectum. Any water that is left over is reabsorbed back into the body in the large intestine. The large intestine also contracts in order to help along the reabsorption of water and electrolytes. [CG] {NR}
