What happens to the water contained in the materials that pass into the large intestine?

   It’s first reabsorbed in the large intestine by osmosis and subsequently filtered out by the kidneys. Depending on the current homeostatic levels of water in the body, the nephrons of the kidneys will then either reabsorb the water in the collecting ducts or be sent to the urethra in urine.

   it is absorbed through the intestines into the blood stream. Any excess water in the blood stream is filtered out by the kidneys, and leaves the body as urine.
