Question

The ________ DOES NOT function as an excretory organ in humans?

• A. small intestine
• B. skin
• C. large intestine
• D. lungs

Answer 1

Answer:

A. small intestine

• The small intestine is primarily involved in digestion and nutrient absorption, not excretion.+

• It absorbs nutrients from digested food for your body to use, like vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and protein.

• The ileum moves food waste toward your large intestine.

• The ileum is where food spends the most time in the small intestine before moving to the large intestine.
