What else can I help you with?
What is the order of passageways from proximal to distal?
The order of passageways from proximal to distal in the human body is typically mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, rectum), and anus.
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.
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 is the name of the storage organ for feces?
Feces is stored in the colon until defectation occurs. The more proximal portions of the colon also serve to absorb water from the feces. The rectum, which is the more distal portion of the colon, serves primarily to store feces pending defecation and is probably the answer you are looking for.
What organs does the superior mesenteric artery supply?
The superior mesenteric artery supplies blood to the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), part of the large intestine (cecum, appendix, ascending colon, and proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon), and the pancreas.
What is the order of passageways from proximal to distal?
The order of passageways from proximal to distal in the human body is typically mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, rectum), and 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 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.
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 portion of the small intestine is most distal from the pylorus of stomach?
The ileum is the most distal portion of the small intestine from the pylorus of the stomach. It connects to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve.
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.
Blood from the superior mesenteric artery feeds what major abdominal organs?
small intestine and proximal large intestine
Where does the large intestines lead to?
The large intestine opens at its distal end to the outside of the body as the anus
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)
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.
Does the large intestines have a sphincter at at one end?
Yes, there are two on the distal end and one on the proximal end. Distally there are the internal and external anal sphincters. Proximally there is the ileocecal valve.
