<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[large intestine]], also called the colon, forms an arch starting at the [[cecum]] and ending at the [[rectum]] and [[anal canal]]. It also includes the [[appendix (anatomy)|appendix]], which is attached to the [[cecum]]. Its length is about 1.5 m, and the area of the mucosa in an adult human is about {{convert|2|m2|abbr=on}}. Its main function is to absorb water and salts. The colon is further divided into:<br />
# [[Cecum]] (first portion of the colon) and [[Appendix (anatomy)|appendix]]<br />
# [[Ascending colon]] (ascending in the back wall of the abdomen)<br />
# [[Right colic flexure]] (flexed portion of the ascending and transverse colon apparent to the [[liver]])<br />
# [[Transverse colon]] (passing below the diaphragm)<br />
# [[Left colic flexure]] (flexed portion of the transverse and descending colon apparent to the [[spleen]])<br />
# [[Descending colon]] (descending down the left side of the abdomen)<br />
# [[Sigmoid colon]] (a loop of the colon closest to the rectum)<br />
# [[Rectum]]<br />
# [[Anal canal]]</div>FuzzyBot
