What is the Difference Between Ascending and Descending Colon
The key difference between ascending and descending colon is that ascending colon is a part of the colon that travels up the right side of the abdomen while descending colon is a part of the colon that travels down the left abdomen.
The colon is also known as the large bowel or large intestine. It is a part of the digestive system of the human body. The normal function of the colon is to dehydrate what is left of the food and form it into a stool.
