Solution

Large intestine:

  1. The large intestine is a component of the excretory system.
  2. Its primary function is to absorb water and salts from undigested food, as well as to ferment indigestible food by bacteria and produce feces.
  3. The intestine is a digestive organ, not an excretory organ.
  4. Byproducts of toxic compound breakdown are excreted into the bile or blood by the liver.
  5. Bile by-products enter the intestine and exit the body in the form of faeces.
