Test #5 - Colonoscopy











Journey of a Colonoscopy:

*anus
*external sphincter
*internal sphincter
*anal canal
*rectum
*sigmoid colon
*descending colon
*splenic flexure (by the spleen)
*transverse colon - across the top
*hepatic flexure (by the liver)
*ascending colon
*cecum

From the cecum there will be:
*the ileocecal valve leading to the ileum of the small intestine
*the orifice for the vermiform appendix
