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.
