In the digestive system, the food and the
products of digestion pass through the muscular tube known as intestine. It extends
from the lower end of the stomach to the lower opening tract of the digestive
tract or the anus. The intestine is divided into two sections, the small and
large intestine. Although both parts receive the digestion and product of the
food, they differ in some areas. For the small intestine, its main function is
to carry out most of the digestive process such as absorbing the entire
nutrient you get from foods into your bloodstream. This function is not present
in the large intestine because the digested food is mixed with the digestive
juices form the small intestine and no nutrients left for the large intestine
to handle.
