Which Organ Absorbs Most Water?


Open in App
Solution

Water:

  1. Water keeps the body's fluidity in balance, balancing all of the organs in the form of blood so that they don't clash.
  2. Water acts as a mode of transportation. It helps in the uptake of nutrition-rich substances from the diet. Urine and sweat are also used to remove hazardous chemicals or poisons from the body.

Explanation:

  1. The majority of the water ejected from the body is collected by small intestine. Water absorption is mostly regulated by the small intestine.
  2. The small intestine receives six to seven liters of fluid each day as secretions from the liver and the small intestine itself.
  3. The small intestine's water absorption not only aids in the condensing and solidification of excrement but also enables the fluid to accumulate for use in other metabolic activities.
