Ascending colon. The ascending (right) colon lies vertically in the most lateral right part of the abdominal cavity, occupying the right iliac fossa, right lumbar region and right hypochondrium. The proximal blind end (pouch) of the ascending colon is called the cecum.
The ascending colon (or right colon) is the beginning part of the colon. It is usually located on the right side of the body, extending from the cecum upward. Although the colon is a continuous structure, the piece that is considered the ascending colon ends where the colon bends, just below the liver and gallbladder.The colon, also called the large intestine, removes water, some nutrients, and electrolytes from partially digested food.It is in the colon that food waste is changed from liquid to solid form and transported to the rectum. At bottom of the ascending colon is the colic valve, also referred to as the ileocecal valve.This valve separates the small intestine from the cecum and prevents material from flowing back into the small intestine.he colon, also called the large intestine, removes water, some nutrients, and electrolytes from partially digested food.
