Explanation:

A colonoscopy can be defined as a test which is used to abnormalities or changes occurring in the large intestine that is colon and rectum. During this procedure a long tube is inserted into the rectum. A small video camera at the tip of the detecting tube is used to view inside the entire colon.

is there any answer choices to this?
