The caecum, ascending and part of the transverse colon have already been considered in the [[Small Intestine Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|development of the small intestine]]. The hindgut forms the portion of the transverse [[Colon - Anatomy & Physiology|colon]] that lies to the left of the midline, the descending [[Colon - Anatomy & Physiology|colon]] and [[The Avian Vent and Cloaca - Anatomy & Physiology#The Cloaca|cloaca]]. The anal membrane breaks down to allow communication with the exterior.
