What are the parts of the large intestine?
Much of the apple that you chewed has already been digested and sent to the circulatory system. The parts of the apple that you could not digest moves on to the large intestine. The large intestine is a thick, tubular organ that removes undigested waste. It is shorter and thicker than the small intestine. The cecum is the first and shortest part of the large intestine. It connects directly with the small intestine. The colon is the widest part of the large intestine. Some water and some minerals are absorbed on the colon and are carried to your body tissue by the blood.
