The Role of Peristalsis in Propelling Food Residue in the Colon During the process of digestion, food travels from the mouth to the stomach and then to the small intestine, where most of the nutrients are absorbed. However, not all the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, and some undigested food residue, along with waste products, continues its journey to the large intestine, specifically the colon. The colon is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining food residue, while also forming and storing feces until it is eliminated from the body. Peristalsis, with its wave-like contractions, is what moves this food residue through the colon, ensuring that it reaches its final destination. #health #healthcare #HealthcareExcellence #healthcare #healthcare #healthcareprofessionals #healthcareassistant #HealthcareInnovation https://lnkd.in/e_rfDNW2
