The large intestine extends from the end of the ileum to the anus. It is about 1.5 meters long, being one-fifth of the whole extent of the intestinal canal.
intestine -- The portion of the digestive tract between the stomach and anus; it is the region where most of the nutrients and absorbed.
intestine
The part of the alimentary canal that lies between the stomach and anus. It is usually coiled, and the internal surface is greatly increased by the presence of folds and projections (villi) to enable efficient digestion and absorption.
large intestine Consists of the cecum, appendix, colon, and rectum; absorbs some nutrients, but mainly prepares feces for elimination.
small intestine A coiled tube in the abdominal cavity that is the major site of chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients; composed of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. PICTURE ...

Your Large Intestine
As chyme enters your large intestine, there is virtually no nutrients left. The job of the large intestine is to remove water from the remaining waste.
enteron - intestine; Gr. koilos - hollow]. Outpocketings of the archenteron (primitive gut) of the gastrula which form the mesodermal somites later in development. The cavities within the pouches will form the body cavity.
It's more in the intestine for birds, they don't sneeze of course so they harbor it more in their intestinal tract as far as I know and they secrete it and transfer it from bird to bird also that way actually.
These complexes are abundant at the brush border membranes of kidney proximal tubule cells and epithelial cells of the intestine, and are also expressed in certain leucocytes and cancer cells.
The unabsorbed food is passed on to the large intestine whose job it is to reabsorb water and ions and concentrate the waste material. Diarrhea results when the food passes too quickly through the large intestine preventing water reabsorption.
After being processed in the stomach, food is passed to the small intestine where it is further mixed with secretions such as bile, which helps aid in fat digestion, and insulin, to process sugars.
For example, one species that lives symbiotically in the large intestine manufactures vitamin K, an essential blood clotting factor. Other species are beneficial indirectly. Bacteria give yogurt its tangy flavor and sourdough bread its sour taste.
The food moves through your digestive system and is eventually broken down into compounds and nutrients that your small intestine can absorb into the blood stream.
In higher animals: the portion of the body that contains the intestines and other viscera other than the lungs and heart.

Some bacteria are helpful, such as those in the intestines that help digest food, while others cause disease. Bacteria are frequently used as model organisms to study basic biological processes. See prokaryotic cell and model organism.

You drink the water, the cyst passes the stomach where acid weakens the cyst wall, and in the intestine, the little caraway seed-like sporozooites invade the intestinal wall and produce more cysts. Sporozooites are shown escaping their cysts.
In vertebrates, this innermost layer of cells goes on to form the linings of the gut (esophagus, stomach, intestines, rectum, colon), pharyngeal pouch derivatives (tonsils,thyroid, thymus, parathyroid glands), lungs, liver, gall bladder, pancreas.
Bile salts Polar derivatives of cholesterol that are made in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and released into the small intestine, where they act as detergents to solubilize dietary lipids, facilitating their digestion and absorption.
