How the undigested food is transferred within the large intestine among the acending colon, transverse ,descending  and sigmoid colon?

Dear student,

The Large intestine is final section of the GI tract where water is absorbed and most of the vital vitamins as well. The  Ascending colon is one of the four major region of the colon here in the ascending colon, bacteria digest the transitory faecal matter in order to release vitamins. 
The transverse colon ​is located between the ascending colon and descending colon and is the longest region of the colon, here much of the absorption and faeces formation of the colon takes place in the transverse colon,
The descending colon is the third and penultimate segment of the colon. The walls of the descending colon absorb water as well as remaining nutrients and vitamins from the faeces, depositing these valuable substances into our bloodstream.
The sigmoid colon is a S-shaped curved region of the large intestine and is the final segment of the colon, It transports faecal matter from the descending colon to the rectum and anus.
 
Regards
