The outer surface is marked by&nbsp;<strong>teniae coli<\/strong>, which are three distinct longitudinal bands of smooth muscle. Their tonic contraction gathers the colon into a series of pouches called&nbsp;<strong>haustra<\/strong>. Also visible are&nbsp;<strong>epiploic appendages<\/strong>, which are small, fat filled sacs of visceral peritoneum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The descending colon leads to the S shaped&nbsp;<strong>sigmoid colon<\/strong>, which terminates in the&nbsp;<strong>rectum<\/strong>. The rectum serves as a temporary storage site for feces before they are eliminated through the&nbsp;<strong>anal canal<\/strong>. This final passage is controlled by sphincters, including the voluntary&nbsp;<strong>external anal sphincter<\/strong>. The entire structure is supported by the mesentery, shown here as a&nbsp;<strong>cut edge of mesentery<\/strong>, which also carries blood vessels like the&nbsp;<strong>superior mesenteric artery<\/strong>&nbsp;that supply the intestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner5-27.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239465\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Art Labeling Label the terms on the figure.
