Question

identify the indicated part of the digestive system.
a transverse colon

Explanation:

The transverse colon is the part of the large intestine that runs horizontally across the abdomen. In anatomical models, it is typically positioned above the small intestine loops. The ascending colon is on the right side, the descending colon on the left side, and the cecum is at the beginning of the large intestine near the appendix (which is visible on the lower - left side of the model but not the circled part).
