The splenic flexure, also known as the left colic flexure, is a sharp bend in the colon located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen. It serves as a junction between the transverse colon and the descending colon. The splenic flexure is in close proximity to the spleen, which can influence its position and shape. It plays a role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, as well as in the transit of waste material through the digestive system.
