Colon (Anatomy)

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The colon is the last portion of the digestive system in most vertebrates; it extracts water and salt from solid wastes before they are eliminated from the body, and is the site in which flora-aided (largely bacteria) fermentation of unabsorbed material occurs. In mammals, the colon consists of four sections: the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon. The colon, cecum, and rectum make up the large intestine.
