The main function of the rectum is to act as a

temporary storage site for fecal matter before

it is eliminated from the body through the
anal canal. As the food you eat passes through
the digestive system, it is broken down and
nutrients are absorbed in the stomach, small
and large intestines. Fecal matter, which
includes digestive juices, bacteria and fiber,
continues to move into the lower portion of
the large intestine -- the rectum. The rectum
holds the feces until you push it out of the
body, through the anal canal, by having a
bowel movement
Bile is a greenish-yellow fluid secreted by the
liver that helps digest fat. It breaks the fat into
fatty acids that can be utilized by the body
and .It also acts as antioxidant, It removes
bacteria and other toxins from liver which are

waste.

Pancreas secretes about 1 L of

pancreatic fluid into duodenum

Ileum: 3 m long, contains smaller and

fewer villi and they absorb the
remaining nutrients. Roughly 7-5 feet
in length, the ileum is the final
section of the small intestine, linked
to the large intestine by the ileocecal
valve. The main function of the ileum
is to absorb nutrients. Bile is also
absorbed here and returns to the liver
through blood vessels in the intestinal
walls.

The large intestine is the thick,

lower end of the digestive system,
containing the appendix, colon and
rectum. Its principle function is to
reabsorb water and maintains the
fluid balance of the body. Certain
vitamins are also taken in through
the large intestinal wall

The function of caecum is one end to

the large intestine with the
appendix(help fighting infection)

Anal canal has 1.5 m long and has

a larger diameter than smaller
intestine. The end of intestine
contains sphincters that control the
time of excretion

The function of colon is the water

and minerals absorbed and the
intestinal bacteria help in further
breakdowns and absorption of the

minerals left over is called feces.
