The transverse colon is one of the four major parts of the colon, extending from the right colic (hepatic) flexure to the left colic (splenic) flexure. It is the most mobile and longest segment of the large intestine, approximately 50cm in length. Its proximal two-thirds are part of the...
The colon is the body's large intestine. It's made up of various parts: the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. Each part of the colon works together during the digestive process. Answer and Explanation:1 ...
Sigmoid colon - ventral view The gastrointestinal system is divided into the foregut, midgut and hindgut. The foregut stretches from the oesophagus to the major duodenal papilla, the midgut from the major duodenal papilla to two thirds of the transverse colon, and the hindgut from this point to...
The large intestine has four parts: cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal. Partly digested food moves through the cecum into the colon, where water and some nutrients and electrolytes are removed. Colon comprises of four parts namely, the ascending colon, transverse, colon, descending colon and...
Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the motor activity of the interposed transverse colon following total gastrectomy through a study of 21 patients. Manometric studies were carried out with a 5-lumen, open-tipped catheter in the resting state, in response to dry swallows, and...
Whatever material is left goes into the large intestine. The function of the large intestine, which is about 5 feet long (1.5 meters), is primarily for storage and fermentation of indigestible matter. Also called the colon, it has four parts: the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the ...
In the caecum, the MAbs 17-1A, 73-3 and 19-9 stained the glycocalyx of the cells of the lower part of the crypts and the Golgi apparatus of the intercalated cells (IC). MAb55-2 stained very weakly the goblet-like cells (GLC) of the lower part of the crypt of transverse colon, ...

Lung-function impairment underlies chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and predicts mortality. In the largest multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of lung function to date, comprising 588,452 participants, we identified 1,020 ind
Here is the point of transition to the anal canal (anorectal junction). Morphologically the rectum is similar to the rest of the large intestine. However it does not have taeniae, haustra, appendices epiploicae and semilunar folds. Characteristic are the three constant transverse folds (Houston...
