What extends from the hepatic flexure and the ascending colon?
The transverse colon
What part of large intestine is between the hepatic flexure and the splenic flexure?
The Transverse colon is between both flexures
What is the splenic flexture?
The bend in the colon between the transverse and descending parts. The other flexure (between ascending and transverse) is the hepatic flexure.
What is the structure between the ascending and transverse colon?
The right colic (hepatic) flexure.
The portion of the large intestine closest to the liver is the?
The cecum is a pouch that is connected to the ascending colon of the large intestine.
Where is the hepatic flexure located?
The hepatic flexure lies in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen.
First part of the large intestines?
The large intestine begins at the colon and then is called the ascending colon until it reaches the hepatic flexure. CECUM!
The segment that is located between the hepatic and splenic flexure is called the?
I suppose you are talking about the intestinal segment so it is called the Transverse Colon
What are the 4 divisions of the colon?
There are actually more than 6. I believe they would be the cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, transverse colon, colic (or splenic) flexure, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
Which organ has curves called hepatic flexure and splenic flexure?
Lage Intestine
What are the lengths of the different parts of the colon?
The average colon is about 1.5 m long. Lengths of the various parts are: * Anal canal: 5 cm * Rectum: 12 cm * Sigmoid colon: 40 cm * Descending colon: 15 cm * Transverse colon: 45 cm * Ascending colon: 25 cm The splenic flexure is thus at around 72 cm from the anal verge, and the hepatic flexure at around 117 cm.
What are the subdivision of the colon?
There are four main subdivisions to the colon. The ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. The ascending colon travels up the right side of the abdomen until it reaches the level of the right kidney. It then turns at a right angle (known as the right colic flexure) and travels across the abdominal cavity as the transverse colon. It then bends at a right angle again (known as the left colic flexure) and continues down the left side of the abdomen as the descending colon. The colon then enters the pelvis and becomes the 's' shaped sigmoid colon.
