The general functions of the bacteria within the large intestine.
Concept introduction:
The large intestine is termed as large bowel, it is a wide tube, but shorter in comparison to the small intestine. It is known as large intestine because it has a greater diameter than the small intestine. The large intestine absorbs water, essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes. In the large intestine, digestion is accompanied and feces are formed and then released from the anus.
