Small Intestine – The main function of the small intestine is the chemical digestion of food and absorption of nutrients into the blood.
Appendix – Researchers believe it acts as a safe house for good bacteria, which can be used to effectively reboot the gut following a bout of dysentery or cholera.
It is a small pouch that protrudes from the large intestine.
Large Intestine – Its function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter, and then to pass useless waste material from the body.
