Answer:

Sigmoid colon

Step-by-step explanation:

Colon is the part of the final section of the digestive tract (large intestine). Its main role is water reabsorption and removal of wastes. The sections of the colon are:

  • cecum and appendix-the begining and the connection with the small intestine
  • ascending colon-its role: removes the water and the nutrients and recycle it
  • transverse colon
  • descending colon-it stores the wastes before their excretion
  • sigmoid colon (s-shaped)-muscular section for the removal of feces
  • rectum-final elimination of wastes.
