First sentence: Although much of our fundamental understanding of the anatomy of the colon, rectum, and anus comes from the efforts of researchers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, comprehensive observations of this region had been made as early as 1543 by Andreas Vesalius through anatomic dissections.
