What part of the large intestine is just proximal to the anus?
The rectum is the part of the large intestine just proximal to the anus.
How are large cervical polyps removed?
You have to ligate the proximal end of the polyp tightly and distal portion is excised.
Which bone has the head located on the distal end?
The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.
Where is the appendix on the human body?
The appendix is in the lower right abdomen, attached to the proximal end of the large intestine.
A bone that has two large trochanters on its proximal end?
The humerus has two large trochanters on its proximal end.
What part of the large intestine is just proximal to the anus?
The rectum is the part of the large intestine just proximal to the anus.
Where does water reabsorption occur?
Between tubular elements and vascular elements of the nephron beginnings with the proximal convoluted tubule and continuing at least part way into the distal tubule.
What colon structure is the appendix attached to?
The appendix in humans is a structure that is not used in any way except to cause trouble. It is approximately located at the junction of the distal small intestine and proximal large intestine (aka - ileo-cecal).
What is anisotripy?
Anisotropy in chemistry usually refers to an anisotropic filter. It filters particles with increasingly smaller spaces so the proximal regions filter out large particles and distal regions filter out the smaller ones. This means the filtration is directionally dependent.
How are large cervical polyps removed?
You have to ligate the proximal end of the polyp tightly and distal portion is excised.
Blood from the superior mesenteric artery feeds what major abdominal organs?
small intestine and proximal large intestine
What is laproscopic ileocecectomy?
It is a minimally invasive approch to remove the distal part of the ileum (small intestine) and proximal part of the cecum (large intestine) all done by inserting ports and a camera (laparoscopic)
Where does the large intestines lead to?
The large intestine opens at its distal end to the outside of the body as the anus
The last stretch of the large intestine before it exists at the anus?
The small intestine- duodenum, jejuneum, and ileum.
Is proximal end of femur is near pelvis?
Yes, "proximal" anatomically generally refers to the end nearest the center of the body, with "distal" referring to the end furthest away from the main body. The femur is the large leg bone that extends from the hip to the knee, thereby placing the proximal end near the pelvis, and the distal end at the knee joint.
Which bone has the head located on the distal end?
The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.
What has regions called ascending transverse descending and sigmoid?
The Large Intestine
