Which of the following anatomical structures is not directly involved in the process of chemical digestion?
a) Large intestine
b) Small intestine
c) Stomach
d) Oral cavity
e) Pancreas

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) Large Intestine

Explanation:

The main job of the large intestine is to reabsorb mainly water and electrolytes from the foods that were not digested and to form waste. It doesn't participate in the disassociation with chemical digestive process. The reabsorption of water and electrolytes and the conversion of indigestible materials into waste does not represent chemical digestion.

Therefore, a) Large intestine is correct.
