ascending colon in dogs

Section of colon which is distal to the cecum and proximal to the transversecolon.[FMA,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the ascending colon is

Section of colon which is distal to the cecum and proximal to the transversecolon.[FMA,modified]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the ascending colon is

It sits within the digestive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the ascending colon connects to

The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of colon, digestive tract and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the ascending colon. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as colon ascendens and spiral colon. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the ascending colon?

What does the ascending colon connect to?

Part of: colon, digestive tract and organ.

Is the ascending colon the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
