Which step in the digestive system removes water from waste and puts it back into the bloodstream

Answer 1

The step in the digestive system that removes water from waste and puts it back into the bloodstream occurs primarily in the **large intestine** (or colon). As food residue passes through the large intestine, water is absorbed back into the bloodstream, helping to form solid waste (feces) for excretion. This process helps maintain the body’s fluid balance and prevents dehydration.
