What you need to know about left colic flex Due to the complex organization, more and more people have always been fascinated with the human body. This charm is the main reason why people immerse to learn more about the concept of the human body, its parts and its mystery and seemingly infinite potential. One area where research is full of human anatomy of the human body for medical purposes. Over the years, thousands and millions of research, experiments and studies have been conducted in the hope of discovering new diseases and causes of various diseases, to find solutions for these medical problems. LINKS AND colic flexion of the colon Many people do not know that there are different parts of the body, the possible causes of other diseases. One of them is the left colic flex. Defined as the curve at the junction of the transverse and descending colon, left colic flex is also known as "splenic flex." Experts say that there are basically two colic flexures in the transverse colon: the right colic flex? One that, in addition to the liver? And the left colic flex? An individual who is close to the human spleen. The latter, also known as flexure lienalis, "refers to the point of junction between the transverse and descendant of a person, double point and is located on the front of the left kidney and spleen below. The hotel is on the colon, the left colic is a joke decline, but it can be very complicated, if not enough attention. Today, increasing numbers of health workers attention of large intestine, because it is a place where many other diseases. The large intestine? Which extends from the ileocecal junction to the anus of the person? Is usually 1.5 meters long. Medical experts say that the large intestine of bands in the median longitudinal muscle fibers called "taenia coli, that approximately 5 millimeters on a large surface. Basically there are three bands visible at the plant and from the cecum to the rectum. Along the sides, the tags of the peritoneum with fat known as epiploic appendix, and sacculations known as "haustra." These basic characteristics are just some of the characteristics of the colon apart from the rest of the intestinal tract. In essence, the two consists in the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, anus and anal canal. The most functional ", if not the most important part of the colon? If the cecum. The cecum, which is said to about 6 cm in length and is a blind alley blind, which is located in the right iliac fossa of a person. This is basically the part of the large intestine, below the opening of the ileum in the colon. You can do so directly behind the abdominal wall and greater omentum. There are often niche are peritoneal. If it seems retrocecal niche behind the cecum, hiding the plant. If closely, one finds that the vermiform plant opens in the cecum about 2 cm below the ileocecal opening which is blocked. Once the cecum is opened, it is already possible to identify and locate the opening of the ileum into the cecum. That said, the opening is usually surrounded by a thick muscles, the iliocolic valve. Even if the left colic flexion or bending experiments spleen does not play the same role of cecum is an important part of the digestive system, it should be noted, if necessary.
