Question
after digestion and absorption, where are the remaining ingestible products processed?
the stomach
the large intestine
the small intestine
The digestive process involves the stomach (for initial digestion), small intestine (for most digestion and absorption), and then the large intestine. After digestion and absorption in the small intestine, the remaining indigestible products (like fiber, undigested food) move to the large intestine. The large intestine's functions include absorbing water, electrolytes, and forming feces from these remaining materials. The stomach is for initial breakdown, and the small intestine is for absorption of nutrients, so the large intestine processes the remaining ingestible (indigestible) products.
