INTESTINAL JUICE
FUNCTIONS
Neutralization of Acids
Strong acids formed by bacterial action in large intestine are neutralized by the alkaline nature of
large intestinal juice.
The alkalinity of this juice is mainly due to the presence of large quantity of bicarbonate.
Lubrication Activity
Mucin present in the secretion of large intestine lubricates the mucosa of large intestine and the
bowel contents, so that, the movement of bowel is facilitated.
Mucin also protects the mucus membrane of large intestine by preventing the damage caused by
mechanical injury or chemical substances.
