Understand the anatomy of the digestive system, specifically the large intestine, which includes the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum.
Recognize that the jejunum is part of the small intestine, not the large intestine. The small intestine consists of three parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
Compare the options provided in the question to the anatomical components of the large intestine to identify which one does not belong.
Eliminate the options that are part of the large intestine (ascending colon, rectum, and cecum).
Conclude that the jejunum is the correct answer because it is part of the small intestine, not the large intestine.
