Apparently he has one of those flexly bendy cocks Elle. Kinda like a plumbing snake. lol but more seriously I think this is what he's getting at.
Ahhh Anatomy 251 The female digestive and sexual reproductive system. Follow along class and no tittering as I say Clitoris...
not exactly to scale but positional focus is the key.
Note the length of the rectum to the first bend Sigmoid colon and then look at the length of the cervix. I think that's what he was referring too.
So note the Transverse top colon has been dissected to reveal what lies behind it.
The amount of large intestine/ colon you have to get through to get to the small intestine actually is enormous. 5 Bends in total the Caecum (where small intestine and large intestine meet) up the ascending colon, the right colic flexure, across the transverse colon, the left colic flexure, down the descending colon to the sigmoid colon and then to the rectum.
The small intestine in adults is a long and narrow tube about 7 meters (23 feet) long. The large intestine is so called because it is wide in diameter. However, it is shorter than the small intestine - only about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.
The rectum is the concluding part of the large intestine that terminates in the anus. The average length of the human rectum may range between 10 and 12 cm. Its caliber can be compared to that of the sigmoid colon at its onset. However, it gets dilated near the anus, where it forms the rectal ampulla. Its key role is to act as a temporary storehouse for feces.
Thanks medical textbooks..lol
