what parts make up the large intestine
The large intestine is divided into the caecum (cecum) with its vermiform appendix, the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and the rectum and anal canal. The first part of the large intestine that we'll talk about is the cecum. This is an intraperitoneal pouch-like structure that is about 7.5 centimeters in diameters. It is usually in contact with the anterior abdominal wall and sometimes may cross the pelvic brim to lie in the true pelvis.
