The first part of the large intestine is called the Cecum (the appendix is connected to the cecum). Food then travels upward through the ascending colon. The food travels across the abdomen in the transverse colon, goes back down the other side of the body in the descending colon, and then through the sigmoid colon where it waits at the rectum to be passed through the anus and expelled.
