| Anatomy of the Colon with Colonoscopy Procedure - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing |
|
| This illustration presents the anatomical structure of the colon and its layers, along with an endoscopic examination view. The main image shows the colon’s segments: ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid, and rectum. An endoscope is inserted through the rectum, allowing visualization of the mucosal surface as it travels through the colon. The cross-sectional view of the colon reveals its histological layers: lumen, mucosa, submucosa, circular muscle, longitudinal muscle, and serosa. These layers play distinct roles in supporting digestion, absorption, and motility within the large intestine. |
