Rectum Rectum. The rectum is the concluding part of the large intestine that terminates in the anus. The average length of the human rectum may range between 10 and 15 cm.Its diameter can be compared to that of the sigmoid colon (the part of the large intestine nearest the rectum) at its onset.However, it becomes larger near the anus, where it forms the rectal ampulla. The key role of the rectal ampulla is to act as a temporary storehouse for feces.ertain types of cancers may be diagnosed by performing an endoscopy in the rectum. An endoscopy is a procedure where a doctor uses an endoscope — a small, flexible tube with a camera and light — to examine areas inside the body.

Descending colon The descending colon is located on the left side of the large intestine, extending from the bend below the spleen to the sigmoid colon.The descending colon stores the food to be emptied into the rectum. The colon is held in place by peritoneum, a thin layer of tissue that supports the abdominal organs.he descending colon is located on the left side of the large intestine, extending from the bend below the spleen to the sigmoid colon.

Sigmoid colon [edit on Wikidata] The sigmoid colon (pelvic colon) is the part of the large intestine that is closest to the rectum and anus. It forms a loop that averages about 40 cm in length. The loop is typically shaped like a Greek letter sigma (ς) or Latin letter S (thus sigma + -oid).

Rectum The rectum is a component of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The rectum is a continuation of the sigmoid colon, and connects to the anus. The rectum follows the shape of the sacrum, and ends in an expanded section called the rectal ampulla.Unlike other portions of the colon, the rectum does not have taeniae coli.The rectum connects with the sigmoid colon at the level of S3, and connects with the anal canal as it passes through the pelvic floor muscles.Supports of the rectum include: 1  Pelvic floor formed by levator ani muscles.nlike other portions of the colon, the rectum does not have taeniae coli.

Because of these kidney control mechanisms, drinking one liter of water would cause the urine. output to increase about nine times after about 45 minutes (due to absorption of water in the gut) and continue for about two hours.

The Structure and Function of the Digestive System The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. It consists of the pelvic floor muscles and the two anal sphincters (internal and external muscles). The lining of the upper anus is specialized to detect rectal contents. It lets us know whether the contents are liquid, gas, or solid.

- Structure of the large intestine. The large intestine is made up of the colon and the rectum. The colon is a tubular structure that is around 1.5 m, about one quarter of the length of the small bowel. Its largest diameter is at the cecum (7.5 cm) and narrowest in the sigmoid (2.5 cm).he large intestine comprises of the second part of the alimentary canal. The large intestine consists of the cecum and colon. It begins at the right iliac region of the pelvis (the region just at or below the right waist) where is continues from the small intestine and continues up the abdomen.

Picture of the Intestines The large intestine (colon or large bowel) is about 5 feet long and about 3 inches in diameter. The colon absorbs water from wastes, creating stool. As stool enters the rectum, nerves there create the urge to defecate.he intestines include the small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. The small intestine (small bowel) is about 20 feet long and about an inch in diameter. Its job is to absorb most of the nutrients from what we eat and drink.

Anal fissure [edit on Wikidata] An anal fissure or rectal fissure is a break or tear in the skin of the anal canal. Anal fissures may be noticed by bright red anal bleeding on toilet paper, sometimes in the toilet. If acute they may cause pain after defecation but with chronic fissures pain intensity is often less. Anal fissures usually extend from the anal opening and are usually located posteriorly in the midline, probably because of the relatively unsupported nature and poor perfusion of the anal wall in that location.

- If the cancer began in the rectum, which is the last several inches of the large intestine leading to the anus, it is called rectal cancer. Colorectal cancer starts in the inner lining of the colon and/or rectum, slowly growing through some or all of its layers. It typically starts as a growth of tissue called a polyp. A particular type of polyp called an adenoma can develop into cancer.

Colon and Rectum Colon and Rectum. The colon and rectum are part of your intestines, which are long, hollow tubes that run from your stomach to your anal opening. 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. The colon is about five to six feet long and about an inch or two in diameter.

Transverse Colon The transverse colon is located in the abdomen along with the rest of the colon. More specifically, it runs across the body on the left hand side. Here, the transverse connects the ascending colon, which rises along the right hand portion of the abdominal cavity, to the descending colon, which travels downward.

- The sigmoid colon is found almost at the end of the GIT in the lower abdomen. It is a continuation of the descending colon and becomes the rectum. I.e. oesophagus --> stomach… --> duodenum --> jejunum --> ileum --> ascending colon --> transverse colon --> descending colon --> sigmoid colon --> rectum --> anus --> toilet.

Gross Anatomy Gross Anatomy. The colon is a 5-6–ft long, U-shaped part of the large intestine (lower gastrointestinal tract). By definition, the cecum (and appendix) and ano-rectum, which are parts of the large intestine, are not included in the colon. Embryologically, the colon develops partly from the midgut (ascending colon to proximal transverse colon) and partly from the hind gut (distal transverse colon to sigmoid colon).

- Though both colon cancer and rectal cancer can be referred to as colorectal cancer, the difference lies in where the cancer actually began. If the cancer began in the colon, which is the first four to five feet of the large intestine, it may be referred to as colon cancer. If the cancer began in the rectum, which is the last several inches of the large intestine leading to the anus, it is called rectal cancer. Colorectal cancer starts in the inner lining of the colon and/or rectum, slowly growing through some or all of its layers.
