The large bowel, also called the large intestine, is a part of the digestive system. It runs from the small bowel (small intestine) to the rectum, which receives waste material from the small bowel.
Anatomically bowel is a synonym for intestine and it is a part of gastrointestinal tract from sphincter pylori of the stomach to the anus. It consists of two segments, the small and the large intestine. Small intestine is subdivided also to duodenum, jejunum and ileum, whereas the large intestine is further subdivided into cecum and colon.
The small benign growths that protrude from the mucous membrane of the large bowel are called polyps. Polyps are common in the colon and are usually non-cancerous, but they can potentially develop into colorectal cancer if not removed. Regular screening is recommended to detect and remove polyps early.
