Questions: [Gross Anatomy of the Large Intestine Drag and drop to place the structures of the large intestine towards the rectum Splenic colon Descending colon Transverse colon Left colic flexure Ascending colon Cecum Dr Ranit Shrilla Tewari]

To arrange the structures of the large intestine in order towards the rectum, we need to follow the anatomical path of the large intestine starting from the cecum and moving towards the rectum. Here is the correct order:

1. Cecum: This is the beginning of the large intestine, located in the lower right abdomen. It connects to the ileum of the small intestine.

2. Ascending colon: This part of the colon travels upward on the right side of the abdomen from the cecum to the right colic flexure (also known as the hepatic flexure).

3. Transverse colon: After the ascending colon, the colon turns and crosses the abdomen from right to left, forming the transverse colon.

4. Left colic flexure (Splenic flexure): This is the bend in the colon near the spleen where the transverse colon turns downward to become the descending colon.

5. Descending colon: This part of the colon travels downward on the left side of the abdomen from the left colic flexure to the sigmoid colon.

6. Sigmoid colon: Although not listed in the options, the sigmoid colon follows the descending colon and leads to the rectum.

7. Rectum: The final section of the large intestine, which stores feces before they are expelled from the body.

In summary, the order towards the rectum is: Cecum, Ascending colon, Transverse colon, Left colic flexure, Descending colon, and then the structures not listed (Sigmoid colon and Rectum).
