What are the symptoms of transverse colon?
The transverse colon is a body part, not a disease.
The colon travels upward from the cecum to the under surface of the liver?
The ascending colon extends from the cecum to the under surface of the liver where it turns to the left to become the transverse colon.
What cavity is the transverse colon found in?
The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine which connects the ascending and descending colon. It is in the abdominal cavity.
What are the 4 divisions of the colon?
The four divisions of the colon are the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. These divisions make up the large intestine and are responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from digested food before eliminating waste.
At the hepatic flexure the colon becomes the?
Transverse Colon
What is the function of Transverse-colon?
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.

What are the 3 divisions of the 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.
Does a ascending colon become the sigmoid colon?
No, the ascending colon does not become the sigmoid colon; they are distinct segments of the large intestine. The ascending colon is located on the right side of the abdomen and leads to the transverse colon, which then connects to the descending colon. The descending colon eventually transitions into the sigmoid colon, which is shaped like an "S" and connects to the rectum. Each segment has its own specific function in the digestive process.
Where in the colon is 65 cm?
In the human colon, 65 cm from the cecum would be approximately in the ascending colon or possibly the transverse colon, depending on individual anatomical variations. The ascending colon typically measures around 15-20 cm, while the transverse colon can measure about 20-40 cm. Therefore, 65 cm would likely place you near the junction of the transverse colon and the descending colon.
