The components of the gastrointestinal tract are alternately retro- and intra-peritoneal. Which of the following is a retroperitoneal structure?• Ilium• Stomach• Sigmoid colonO Ascending colon
Solution
The retroperitoneal structures are those that are located behind the peritoneum, the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. Among the options given, the ascending colon is a retroperitoneal structure. The ilium is a part of the small intestine and is not retroperitoneal. The stomach and the sigmoid colon are intraperitoneal structures. Therefore, the correct answer is the Ascending colon.
