How long is the transverse part of the colon?
The transverse colon is a body part, not a disease.
The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine which connects the ascending and descending colon. It is in the abdominal cavity.
The sequence of the colon is: cecum with the attached appendix, the ascending colon, transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon (S shaped) and ends at the rectum.
The large insestine proper is composed of the (1) cecum, (2) appendix, (3) colon, (4) rectum, and (5) anal canal. The colon proper is composed of (1) ascending colon, (2) transverse colon, (3) descending colon, and (4) sigmoid colon. It also has two flextures or bends; the right colic flexure (between the ascending colon and transverse colon) and the left colic flexure (between the transverse colon and the descending colon). drazx is the original author of this answer. by sanket gupta kv No 1 ang
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.
Transverse Colon
The transverse colon function is to remove water and form feces. The transverse colon is so important to our digestive system it had two arteries to provide its demand of oxygenated blood.

The transverse colon
The appendix, (Cecum) ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, (Sigmoid colon)and rectum.The large intestine consists of the appendix, the cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, transverse colon, splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum.Cecum with the vermiform appendix hanging from it, the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon (which is s - shaped), rectum, the anal valve and lastly the anus.
Yes. A colonoscopy views the entire colon. It passes from the anus to the rectum, sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon and on occasion may look at the distal part of the small bowel as well.
Colon is divided into several distinct regions, ascending colon, right colic flexure, transverse colon, left colic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon. The Colon is part of the large intestine.Large intestine is connected to small intestine through ileocecal valve and is about 5 feet long. It ends at the anus, encircles small intestine on 3 sides and has subdivisions called the cecum, vermiform, appendix, colon, rectum, anal canal.There is no difference between the colon and large intestine. Colon is just another word for large intestine.Actually: The colon is the largest part of the large intestine, there is a descending, transverse, and ascending colon, right and left colic flexure, as well as the sigmoid colon, these are all parts of the colon.However the colon is not the only part of the large intestine, there are also the cecum, vermiform appendix, rectum, and anal canal.Therefore the colon carries it towards the rectum, but the rectum is not part of the colon.
