ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your peritoneum is a membrane, a sheet of smooth tissue that lines your abdominopelvic cavity and surrounds your abdominal organs. It pads and insulates your organs, helps hold them in place and secretes a lubricating fluid to reduce friction when they rub against each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transverse colon is a section of the large intestine that runs across the abdomen. It is where the body absorbs water and salts from material that it cannot digest. Later, this becomes feces. A number of conditions can affect the colon, including IBS, polyps, diverticulosis, and cancer.

Detailed explanation-3: -The esophagus Peristalsis is the slow contraction of smooth muscles along and around the digestive system. As the bolus moves through the esophagus, these contractions push it toward the stomach.

Detailed explanation-4: -At 3 or 4 inches around (about 7 to 10 centimeters), the large intestine is fatter than the small intestine and it’s almost the last stop on the digestive tract. Like the small intestine, it is packed into the body, and would measure 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) long if you spread it out.
