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.
At the hepatic flexure the colon becomes the?
Transverse Colon
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!
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.
What part of large intestine is between the hepatic flexure and the splenic flexure?
The Transverse colon is between both flexures
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.
The colon travels upward from the cecum to the under surface of the liver?
The ascending colon extends from the cecum to the under surface of the liver where it turns to the left to become the transverse colon.
What are the 3 divisions of the 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.
What are the parts that make up 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.
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
