What is "transverse colon"?
The transverse colon is a segment of the large intestine located in the abdominal cavity. It has a horizontal orientation and plays a vital role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The transverse colon helps in the formation and storage of fecal matter, allowing for the reabsorption of water and electrolytes. It serves as a crucial link between the ascending and descending portions of the colon, facilitating the smooth movement of waste materials through the digestive system.
