The average colon is about 1.5 m long. Lengths of the various parts are:
* Anal canal: 5 cm
* Rectum: 12 cm
* Sigmoid colon: 40 cm
* Descending colon: 15 cm
* Transverse colon: 45 cm
* Ascending colon: 25 cm
The splenic flexure is thus at around 72 cm from the anal verge, and the hepatic flexure at around 117 cm.
