sigmoid colon

UBERON:0001159 ·resolve ·HOST_ASSOCIATED ·EXACT SEEDED

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, and normally lies within the pelvis, but on account of its freedom of movement it is liable to be displaced into the abdominal cavity. — UBERON

Machine-generated and unreviewed. Its grounding comes from the seeder's rules, not from a curator.
