Intestinal Water Absorption

Molecular classification: Physiological Process

Overview

Intestinal water absorption refers to the physiological process by which water is absorbed from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract into the body, primarily through the small and large intestines. This process is essential for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, supporting nutrient absorption, and ensuring proper digestive function.

Mechanism of action

Osmotic gradient driven by solute transport (primarily sodium)
