Colon/Rectal

The colon is the last part of the digestive system in most vertebrates; it extracts water  and salt from solid wastes before they are eliminated  from the body, and is the site in which flora-aided (largely bacteria) fermentation of unabsorbed material occurs. Unlike the small intestine, the colon does not play a major role in absorption of foods and nutrients. However, the colon does absorb water, potassium and some fat soluble vitamins.
