Question

question 10 of 10
which portion of the large intestine is most proximal?
descending colon
ascending colon
cecum
transverse colon

Explanation:

The large intestine consists of several parts. The cecum is the first part of the large intestine that receives undigested food from the small intestine. The ascending colon comes after the cecum, the transverse colon after the ascending colon, and the descending colon after the transverse colon. So, the cecum is the most proximal (closest to the origin, which is the connection with the small intestine) part among the given options.

Answer:

C. Cecum
