In the abdominal cavity. The first part is called the cecum and it is in the Lower Right Quadrant, just inside your hip bone, the next part is the ascending colon and it goes up at an angle up to about your 10th rib, then the transverse colon goes across the front of your abdomen under the ribs and above the naval (belly button) to your left side about the 10th rib, and then it goes down to just inside your other hip bone and becomes the descending colon. The next part is called the sigmoid colon and it makes an S-shape that goes deeper into your abdomen and then becomes the rectum. The last part is an opening called the anus.
