The large intestine' (lat. Intestinum crassum) forms the final lower part of the digestive system. It begins at the transition of the final section of the small intestine (Latin ileum) to the appendix (Latin caecum) and ends at the anus. The main functions of the colon are water reabsorption and thus thickening of the stool. It is also involved in the fine regulation of the electrolyte balance and has a dense bacterial colonization and thus very diverse intestinal flora.
