Platinum Health, LLC.: Colon

Colon: The colon's function is primarily to reabsorb water from the stool and store it until elimination from the body is convenient. Diseases of the colon disrupt the ability of the organ to perform this function.

This colon ulcer was among several found in a patient with systemic vasculitis. Inflammation of the blood vessels supplying the lining of the colon caused it to ulcerate.
