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.
Sigmoid colon
72 m + 65 cm = 7200 cm + 65 cm = 7265 cm
65 cm / 2.54 cm per inch = 25.6 inches.
65 mm = 6.5 cm
40 cm x 65 cm = 2,600 cm
65 cm = 0.65 metres
65 cm is 650 mm
65 cm = 650 mm
1 metre = 100 cm therefore 65 cm = 65/100 = 13/20 metre
the colon maximum lenght is 1194 cm Joymaker RN
