Its function is primarily the absorption of water from fecal matter.
My teacher at school told me this one................. Its a bit like a semi colon, but has 2 full stops and not one full stop and one comma.
Main function of the colon is to absorb the water and electrolytes from the residue of digestion. In the cecum, you have almost liquid residue and you pass almost solid stool.
What the Ascending Colon does is pass the (in process) excrement to the Transverse Colon and then Transverse to the Descending Colon.ect.
The right colic (hepatic) flexure.
The ascending colon runs vertically below the liver. The descending colon runs vertically below the stomach. The transverse colon runs horizontally between the ascending and descending colons and is attached to the bottom of the liver and stomach.
The ascending colon is lateral to the urinary bladder.

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 body system that the colon belongs to is the digestive system. The colon is also known as the large intestine.
In the abdominal cavity. It connects to the small intestine in the lower right of the abdominal area, goes up (ascending colon), across, down descending colon), across (transverse colon), and down (sigmoid colon) to the rectum and anus.
The ascending colon is the first part of the large intestine. The descending colon is the part of the colon that is found at the end of the colon in digestive tract anatomy.
