What is the primary function of the large intestine?
Storage of vitamins and minerals
Protein digestion and nutrient absorption
Water and electrolyte absorption
Secretion of water, salts, sodium bicarbonate, and enzymes
None of the choices is correct.
Homework Answers
Storage of vitamins and minerals is done by the liver. Protein digestion and absorption occurs in small intestine. Secretion of water, salts, sodium bicarbonate and enzymes is not a function of large intestine. The primary function of large intestine is absorption of water and electrolytes.
