The ascending colon runs vertically below the liver. The descending colon runs vertically below the stomach. The transverse colon runs horizontally between the ascending and descending colons and is attached to the bottom of the liver and stomach.
It removes water and salts from solid wastes before they are excreted from the body.
The Transverse colon connects the ascending colon and the descending colon, it lies right in the middle.
The transverse colon function is to remove water and form feces. The transverse colon is so important to our digestive system it had two arteries to provide its demand of oxygenated blood.
Other than connecting the ascending and descending colon, it reclaims water from the fecal material and absorbs certain B vitamins and vitamin K which are produced by the intestinal flora.
Absorption of water from stool
There are actually more than 6. I believe they would be the cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, transverse colon, colic (or splenic) flexure, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
The sequence of the colon is: cecum with the attached appendix, the ascending colon, transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon (S shaped) and ends at the rectum.
left over vitamins and minerals but mostly water
to store food that will be emptied into the rectumIts function is primarily the absorption of water from fecal matter.
The function of the large intestine is to allow for small amount of absorption but mostly for removal of wastes from the body after absorption and digestion in the small intestine. Each section of the large intestine - cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum and anal canal all have specific purposes.

How long is the transverse part of the colon?
The transverse colon is a body part, not a disease.
There are actually more than 6. I believe they would be the cecum, ascending colon, hepatic flexure, transverse colon, colic (or splenic) flexure, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
The ascending colon carries fecal matter to transverse colon. Along it's tract, bacteria digest the fecal material to release vitamins, nutrients and water.
The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine which connects the ascending and descending colon. It is in the abdominal cavity.
