The splenic flexure lies in the upper left quadrant between the transverse and descending colon.
What part of large intestine is between the hepatic flexure and the splenic flexure?
The Transverse colon is between both flexures
What is a spleen fixture?
I think you must be asking about Splenic Flexure. The splenic (or left colic) flexure is a sharp bend between the transverse and the descending colon in the left upper quadrant of humans.
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 bend in the colon in left side of the abdomen?
The colon starts from the right and lower side of the abdomen. It goes up ward. Then almost horizontally towards left side of upper abdomen. Then it goes downwards. The bend here is called as left colic flexure. It is also called as splenic flexure.

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 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.
At the hepatic flexure the colon becomes the?
Transverse Colon
Which organs lie in the left upper quadrent?
The left upper quadrant of the abdomen contains the pancreas, the spleen, the left kidney, the left adrenal gland, the left-most aspect of the liver, and the splenic flexure of the colon along with the left-most transverse colon and the superior aspect of the descending colon.
