Caption: Healthy small intestine, endoscope view. This is the final part of the small intestine (terminal ileum), before food reaches the large intestine (colon). The small intestine is mainly responsible for absorbing nutrients from food, whereas the large intestine absorbs water and passes the resulting waste to the rectum for excretion.
