How does the large intestine interact with other parts of the body?
The large intestine is connected to the small intestine. Watery food comes from the small intestine into the large intestine. Minerals and water are absorbed from the large intestine into the blood. Then they can be used by the rest of the body. Attached to the large intestine is an organ called the appendix. It doesn’t do anything that we know of. Sometimes it gets infected though and must be removed before it bursts and kills you.
