Answer 1

Answer

Parts of large intestine from its proximal end to distal end.

1. Ileocecal valve
2. Cecum
3. Ascending colon
4. Right colic flexure
5. Transverse colon
6. Left colic flexure
7. Descending colon
8. Sigmoid colon
9. Rectum
10. Anal canal
11. Anuus

- Large intestine plays an important role in absorption of water from undigested waste generated after absorption of all the nutrients by small intestine.

- Ileocecal valve allows undigested material to enter the cecum from ileum.

- Large intestinal wall has simple columnar epithelium with goblet cells that secrete mucus.

- Large intestine produce fecal matter that is stored in rectum.

- During defecation, feces is eliminated from body via anal opening.
