large intestine - (pronounced) (larj in-TES-tin) The long, tubular organ that connects to the small intestine at one end and to the anus at the other. The large intestine consists of four parts: cecum, large intestine, rectum and anal canal. Partially digested food moves through the cecum to the large intestine, where water and some nutrients and electrolytes are removed. The remaining material, solid waste called stool, moves through the colon, is stored in the rectum, and exits the body through the anal canal and anus
