What is the width and length of human colon?

The main job of the colon is the reabsorption of water and salts from chyme that enters into it from the small intestine. As the water is drawn out it turns into feces. For this reason it has to be wider than the small intestine, which is about an inch in diameter. On average the colon is about four feet long and two inches wide in most places. Some parts, like the cecum, can be wider, up to three inches, while other places, like the anal canal, can be a bit narrower if it is empty. The colon is also known as the large intestine. It is divided into four segments, totaling approximately 60 inches on average. 1) The Ascending colon connects to the small intestine, and is about 8 inches long. 2) The Transverse colon is usually over 18 inches long and extends from the hepatic flexure, across the upper abdomen to the splenic flexure. 3) The Descending colon is usually less than 12 inches long and extends from the splenic flexure downwards to the start of the pelvis. 4) The Sigmoid colon is S-shaped and is about 18 inches long. It extends from the descending colon to the rectum. The rectum measures from 4-6 inches in length.


What is the worlds largest human bowel movement?

This is not something that is measured. The descending colon usually measures in the area of 12 inches but varies for every individual. If you add the length of the transverse colon it is possible another 18 inches could be evacuated. The action of the bowel would not allow this all to come out unbroken. The answers to your question will always remain unverified.
