The sigmoid colon (pelvic colon) is the part of the large intestine that is closest to the rectum and anus. It forms a loop that averages about 40 cm in length, and normally lies within the pelvis, but on account of its freedom of movement it is liable to be displaced into the abdominal cavity.
The descending colon is primarily located in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. It extends downward from the transverse colon and continues into the sigmoid colon. In some cases, a portion of the descending colon may also be found in the left upper quadrant, depending on individual anatomy.
Yes, the sigmoid colon does reabsorb water from the remaining waste material that passes through it. This reabsorption helps to consolidate the waste material into a solid form before it is excreted from the body.

Sigmoid flexure is a feature of the male reproductive anatomy in certain species, such as pigs and horses, where the penis has an S-shaped curve. This anatomical structure allows for easier insertion during mating and helps to protect the penis when not in use.
its cancer in the colon. sigmoid is part of the colon.
Sigmoid colonThe sigmoid colon is the part of the large intestine after the descending colon and before the rectum. The name sigmoid means S-shaped (see sigmoid). The walls of the sigmoid colon are muscular, and contract to increase the pressure inside the colon, causing the stool to move into the rectum.The sigmoid colon is supplied with blood from several branches (usually between 2 and 6) of the sigmoid arteries, a branch of the IMA. The IMA terminates as the superior rectal artery.
it means that there are red, inflamed patches in the part of your large intestine closest to the rectum.
"anatomy" is a noun if that's what you mean?
The proximal sigmoid colon is the portion of the large intestine that is closest to the beginning of the sigmoid colon. It is located near the end of the descending colon and functions in absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining digested food before it moves into the sigmoid colon for further processing.
