What's the difference between colon and gastrocolic?
Colon
Definition:
(n.) That part of the large intestines which extends from the caecum to the rectum. [See Illust of Digestion.]
(n.) A point or character, formed thus [:], used to separate parts of a sentence that are complete in themselves and nearly independent, often taking the place of a conjunction.

Gastrocolic
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to both the stomach and the colon; as, the gastrocolic, or great, omentum.
Example Sentences:
(1) The gastrocolic response of monkeys to feeding is most prominent in the right and transverse colon in both duration and frequency of contractions.
(2) During diagnostic endoscopy the gastroscope unexpectedly passed to the transverse colon through a relatively large ulcerous gastrocolic fistula.
(3) The extension of infiltrating stomach cancer through the gastrocolic ligament into the transverse colon appears to be relatively common.
