'''Hepatic (or the right colic) flexure''' is the sharp bend between the [[Ascending colon|ascending]] and the [[Transverse colon|transverse]] [[Colon (anatomy)|colon]]. The right colic flexure is adjacent to the [[liver]], and is therefore also known as the '''hepatic flexure'''. Thus, the left colic flexure is also known as the [[splenic flexure]] (as it is close to the [[spleen]]). The hepatic flexure lies in the [[right upper quadrant]] of the [[Human abdomen|abdomen]] in humans. |
