APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The intestine is a muscular tube which extends from the lower end of your stomach to your anus, the lower opening of the digestive tract. It is also called the bowel or bowels.

Detailed explanation-2: -The entry point, about six inches long, is called the cecum. The rest of the colon is divided into segments: the ascending colon (traveling up), the transverse colon (traveling across to the left), the descending colon (traveling down) and the sigmoid colon (headed back across to the right).

Detailed explanation-3: -The long, tube-like organ that is connected to the small intestine at one end and the anus at the other. The large intestine has four parts: cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anal canal It connects the anus to the rectum, which is the holding area for stool. The junction between the rectum and anal canal is called the anorectal line. The anal canal is surrounded by ring-like muscles called the anal sphincter (made up of the internal anal sphincter and the external anal sphincter).

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two types of intestines: the small intestine (or small bowel) and the large intestine (also called the colon or large bowel). The small intestine connects your stomach to your colon, and your colon then attaches to your rectum and, ultimately, your anus.
