Sigmoid colon, a terminal section of the large intestine that connects the descending colon to the rectum; its function is to store fecal wastes until they are ready to leave the body.

Its size depends upon the amount of waste material in it, but when contracted its diameter is only about one inch (2.5 centimetres).
