Most of the removal process takes place in long folded tubes called the small and the large intestine , collectively referred to by biologists as the gut. Physicians often call the intestines the bowels.
Water is extracted from the soup through the walls of the large intestine.
Size and location The small intestine connects to the large on the lower right side of the body at the bottom of the abdomen. The connection is not at the end, but a few inches away from the end of the large intestine. The appendix is attached to the bottom of the caecum. The main part of large intestine has nowhere to go but up, and so it does for a while. This part is called the ascending colon.
