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 is a hollow tube about 2 Â½ inches in diameter and about 8 inches long, with many small pouches along its length to increase its surface area. The inferior end of the ascending colon connects to the cecum of the large intestine in the right iliac region of the abdominal cavity.
