Detailed explanation-1: -The large intestine includes the colon, rectum and anus. It’s all one, long tube that continues from the small intestine as food nears the end of its journey through your digestive system. The large intestine turns food waste into stool and passes it from the body when you poop.
Detailed explanation-2: -The descending colon follows the transverse colon and splenic flexure. It is on the left side of the abdomen. The sigmoid colon is the last part of the colon and connects to the rectum.
Detailed explanation-3: -The role of the ascending colon is to absorb the remaining water and other key nutrients from the indigestible material, solidifying it to form stool. The descending colon stores feces that will eventually be emptied into the rectum.
