Most of the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream tape place in the large intessives
1 answer
No, the majority of nutrient absorption actually takes place in the small intestine, not the large intestine. The small intestine is where the majority of digestion occurs as well. The large intestine, on the other hand, mainly absorbs water and electrolytes, while also hosting the fermentation of indigestible carbohydrates by gut bacteria and the formation of feces.
