Which of the following is the longest section of the large intestine?

The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in the human body, and it is in charge of absorbing water and electrolytes, as well as forming and excreting solid waste (feces). The large intestine is made up of several sections, including:

The cecum is the first part of the large intestine and consists of a pouch-like structure that connects to the small intestine.

The colon is the longest section of the large intestine.

Rectum: The rectum is the final section of the colon and is in charge of storing and eliminating faeces.

The anus is the rectum's external opening through which faeces are expelled.

Haustra are pouch-like formations along the colon that help to slow faeces movement and increase the amount of time faeces are in contact with the colon wall, allowing for more complete water absorption.

The large intestine is lined with mucus-secreting glands and smooth muscle fibres, which aid in the mixing and transport of faeces to the rectum and anus for elimination.
