This is your Colon. 💡 Notre Colon mesure 1.5m de long et 4cm de diamètre. Il se divise successivement en Colon Ascendant, Transverse, Descendant puis Sigmoïde avant de rejoindre le Rectum. 🔍 Son rôle est principalement de stocker les déchets, absorber de l'eau et maintenir l'équilibre hydrique, et absorber certaines vitamines (thiamine, riboflavine, vit.K). 🔥 #anatomie #anatomy #3d #osteo #osteopathie #Colon #bowel #digestion #water #vitamines #digestivehealth #digestive | François Albaranes
