• APPENDIX – is located at the lower right portion of your abdomen. The function of your appendix is yet to be discovered but according to a theory, it serves as a storehouse for good bacteria that helps in putting the digestive system back to its normal state after a diarrheal illness.
• LARGE INTESTINE – functions to break down dietary fibers that produces substances which provides additional nutrition for the body. Primarily, it absorbs fluids and electrolytes specifically sodium and potassium.
• ILEUM – is part of your small intestine and this can be found at the end leading to the large intestine. It usually absorbs water, bile salts, and Vitamin B12.
