The colon is not an accessory organ of the digestive system. It is a part of the large intestine and its function is to absorb water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter, solidify feces, and transport them to the rectum for elimination. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are accessory organs of the digestive system which secrete digestive enzymes and produce fluids that aid in digestion.
