In addition to the water-absorption properties of the colon, the rectum and a portion of thepelvic colon have the power of absorbing peptones, sugars, and emul-sified fats. This fact is utilized in rectal feeding, it being possiblefor the system to be nourished for a number of days or weeksthrough the capacity of this portion of the bowel to absorb nutriment.In thin persons the ascending and descending colon may be felt deeplysituated in the abdominal cavity as firm cords, at times resemblingtumors. The ascending, transverse, and a portion of the descending colonare nourished by the colic branches of the superior mesenteric artery(Fig. 90).
