The large intestine extends from the ileocecal valve, where it connects to the small intestine, to the anus. It consists of several parts, including the cecum, colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid), rectum, and anal canal. Its primary functions include absorbing water and electrolytes, as well as forming and storing feces for excretion.
