This is all I could find, hope it helps:
Descending colon
The descending colon is the part of the colon from the splenic flexure to the beginning of the sigmoid colon. It is retroperitoneal in two-thirds of humans. In the other third, it has a (usually short) mesentery

The DUODENUM is the beginning portion of the of the SMALL intestine. It starts at the base of the stomach and extends to the JEJUNUM.

It is not part of the large intestine or colon.
