*The arrangement of the transverse and descending colon is similar to that of the dog and cat, but the ascending colon is different.
**The ascending colon is elongated and coiled to form a cone-shaped organ.
**The base of the cone is attached to the dorsal abdominal wall and the apex points ventrally.
**The position of the ascending colon varies with filling of the stomach.
**From the caecum, there are clockwise centripetal turns to the apex of the cone.
**Then the centrifugal turns run anti-clockwise on the inside of the cone.
***Centripetal turns have two taenia, whilst centrifugal turns have none.
