What is "ascending colon"?
The ascending colon is a segment of the large intestine that begins at the cecum, where the small intestine meets the large intestine, and ascends vertically on the right side of the abdomen. It plays a crucial role in the absorption of water and electrolytes from the digestive waste material, forming a semi-solid stool before it moves further along the digestive tract. The ascending colon is responsible for transporting the waste material to the transverse colon for further processing and elimination from the body.
Contoh
The colon is divided into several segments, including the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
