Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
About 800 to 1,000 mL of liquid is absorbed daily by the large intestine. When absorption does not occur properly, such as when the waste products pass through the large intestine rapidly, the stool is soft and watery.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Peristalsis is defined as the contractions of the circular and longitudinal muscles of the intestine. Decreased peristalsis will result in constipation because the movement of the fecal mass will occur at a slower rate and more fluid will be absorbed in the colon.
