The transverse colon is a body part, not a disease.
How long is the transverse part 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.
The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine which connects the ascending and descending colon. It is in the abdominal cavity.
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 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 ileum
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
The ascending colon is the first section of the large intestine.
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.
