Colon Transverse

The transverse colon is one of the intestinal tubes that runs from the right side of the transverse colon to the descending colon. It is located inside the abdominal cavity. Since this part of the intestine is connected to the transverse colon, it is called the “intestine of the transverse colon.”

The longitudinal colon is located between the stomach and the descending colon of the ileum. Its length is approximately 25 cm. The transverse butted intestine has a significant length of about 65



The human intestine (lat. intestīnum humanum) is the part of the human digestive system in which the process of digesting food is completed and the absorption of water begins. The length is approximately 4.6-5 meters.

The intestines perform several important functions: * digestive (digestion); * excretory (release of liquid decay products); * barrier (synthesis of vitamins, release of nutrients into the blood, protective function); * endocrine (participation in the regulation of a number of body systems); In addition, the role of the intestines in regulating body weight is important. It serves to transport nutrients, store energy and metabolize other compounds, regulate water-salt balance and exchange of microelements, etc.
