The large intestine is called the colon. It begins at the ileo-cecal valve and becomes the ascending colon. It gets to the top of the abdomen where it turns and becomes the transverse colon. When it reaches the other side of the abdomen it turns again, becoming the descending colon. At the end of the descending colon are the rectum and the anus.
