anatomy of large intestine

Large intestine
consists of the Caecum, Appendix, Ascending, Transverse, Descending and sigmoid colon, Rectum and Anal Canal.
 The large intestine can be distinguished from the small intestine by:
Omental Appendices
Small, fatty, omentum-like projections
Teniae Coli
Three distinct longitudinal bands of muscle
Begin at the appendix, where it’s longitudinal muscle splits into 3 bands
Run the length of the large intestine
Merge together again at the rectosigmoid junction into a continuous layer around the rectum
Haustra
Sacculations of the wall of the colon between teniae
Diameter
Much larger than that of the small intestine
caecum
first part of the large intestine and is continuous with the ascending colon. It is a blind intestinal pouch, approximately 7.5cm in both length and breadth.

It lies in the Iliac Fossa of the Right Lower Quadrant of the abdomen, inferior to the junction of the terminal ileum and caecum (ileocaecal junction).

entirely enveloped by peritoneum and is mobile. However, the caecum has no mesentery. Because of this relative freedom, it may be displaced from the iliac fossa, but is commonly bound to the lateral abdominal wall by one or more cecal folds of peritoneum
