Answer:

ascending colon

Step-by-step explanation:

Colon

Also called the large intestine, it is the last portion of the digestive system in most vertebrates; it extracts water and salt from solid waste before they are removed from the body. It is a long and hollow tube that is at the end of this system, in which the body produces and stores feces. The ileocecal valve of the ileum ([[small intestine]]) passes the material to the large intestine through the cecum. The material passes through the ascending, descending and transverse portions, and sigmoid of the colon and finally to the rectum. From this waste is expelled from the body.

Ascending colon

It extends from the cecum to the right colic flexure (colic impression on the underside of the liver, forming the hepatocolic ligament). It is related to the handles of the small intestine, right kidney, and descending portion of the duodenum, in addition to the muscular structures of the posterior wall: psoas, lumbar square, transverse abdomen, femoral nerve, [[lateral femoral cutaneous]], ilium- hypogastric, ilio-inguinal and [[femoral gene]]: gonadal vessels, internal iliac artery and [[iliac bone]] complete the relationships.
