 The function of your colon. |
THE COLON FUNCTION:
The colon’s main function concerns the extraction of water and salts from feces. Therefore the colon is a kind of a storage tube for solid wastes. The large intestine comes after the small intestine in the digestive tract. The large intestine measures approximately 1.5 meters in length.

Although there are differences in the large intestine between different organisms, the large intestine is mainly responsible for storing waste, reclaiming water, maintaining the water balance, and absorbing some vitamins, such as vitamin K. By the time the chyme has reached this tube, almost all nutrients and 90% of the water have been absorbed by the body. As the chyme moves through the large intestine, most of the remaining water is removed. Source: The function of your colon
