The colon (large intestine, rectum, and anus) is the end portion of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract which extends from the mouth to the anus. It is a muscular tube approximately 5 to 5 Â½ feet in length and has an average diameter of approximately 2 Â½ inches. The colon starts on the lower right side of the abdomen, where the small intestine empty the contents of digestion (chyme) into the first portion of the colon (cecum).
Fallacy Types Name Calling âA personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of reasoning is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person making the claim and not the claim itself.
Lesson Summary. A logical fallacy is an argument that appears on the surface to be reasonable but in reality is weak or faulty and misleading. There are a few subcategories of fallacies: the structural fallacy, the verbal fallacy and the material fallacy (the last of which was the focus of this lesson). Logical fallacies are most often accidental or unintentional, based on a misinterpretation of information or the need for more evidence.
