What is a distal sigmoid colon?

Answer 1

The sigmoid colon is found almost at the end of the GIT in the lower abdomen. It is a continuation of the descending colon and becomes the rectum.

I.e. oesophagus --> stomach --> duodenum --> jejunum --> ileum --> ascending colon --> transverse colon --> descending colon --> sigmoid colon --> rectum --> anus --> toilet.
It is part of large intestine

Answer 2

The entire colon has a role in the re absorption of water and formation and storage of stools. They also harbor bacteria that make vitamin K. Since the sigmoid is almost at the end of the colon, it probably does more storing than absorption, until defecation occurs

Answer 3

Distal sigmoid colon is the last segment of your colon before the rectum begins. The colon segments (in order from proximal to distal) are: ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid.
