толстая кишка; толстый кишечник (Intestinum crassum is Latin for the large intestine or large bowel in English. It is the final section of the digestive tract, measuring approximately 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, and consists of the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal, where it functions to absorb water, store waste, and form feces. Key Details About the Large Intestine (Intestinum Crassum): Parts: Includes the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum. Location: Situated in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Function: Absorbs remaining water and electrolytes from indigestible food matter and prepares waste for elimination. Common Terms: Often referred to simply as the "colon," although scientifically the colon is only a portion of the large intestine. • The colon (progressing from the ascending colon to the transverse, the descending and finally the sigmoid colon) is the longest portion of the large intestine, and the terms "large intestine" and "colon" are often used interchangeably, but most sources define the large intestine as the combination of the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal.  wikipedia.org kat_j) |
