Sacculations of the large intestine?
Sacculations are irregular folds or pouches that occur along the length of the large intestine, particularly in the colon. These structures increase the surface area available for water absorption and help with the compaction of fecal matter as it moves through the colon. Sacculations are a normal anatomical feature of the large intestine.
What type of movements take place in the large intestine and why?
The type of movement that occurs in the large intestine is called peristaltic action. This is a series of rhythmic contractions of smooth muscles that are in the walls of the intestines. The intestines are composed of many small pouches called haustra. And as peristaltic action continues, feces in the large intestine move from one haustra to another until it finally reaches the anal canal and anus. Then when the internal and external sphincters relax, the feces is expelled from the body.
