Compared with the small intestine, the epithelium of
the colon is relatively impermeable and requires a considerably longer period
of time to absorb the salt, water, and carbohydrate presented to it. Between
500 and 1500 g of a semiliquid material enter the colon on a daily
basis. Most of this substance is absorbed, yielding a stool output that weighs
about 200 g
