Home to such organisms as bifidobacteria, FTP name this organ consisting mostly of the cecum and the sigmoidal, transverse, ascending, and descending colon, which is found after a more diminutive- sounding counterpart in the GI tract.
One part of this organ becomes enlarged in Hirschspurng's disease, which can be caused by mutations of PHOX2B or RET. Parts of this organ can be found connected to the quadratus lumborum near the Psoas major, while another portion contains three semilunar transverse folds known as Houston's valves. Its longitudinal bands create haustra, which increase the surface area for absorption during churning.
