Which of the following pa of gastrointestinal tract is having 'appendices epiploicae' anatomically?: (A) Appendix, (B) Caecum, (C) Rectum, (D) Sigmoid colon
Answer is B. The serous layer is missing over the posterior aspect of the ascending and descending colon. The peritoneum forms small pouch-like processes that are filled with fat. These yellow masses are called the appendices epiploicae. Ref: Human Histology: With Colour Atlas and Practical Guide By Inderbir Singh, 2011, Page 259.
