Cecum and Colon

anatomycorner June 13, 2015

This image shows the jejunum and the ileum as it joins the large intestine (colon).  The pouch at this connection point in the cat is called the cecum.  In humans, the cecum has an attached appendage.   A valve can be found at this point in the digestive tract:  the ileocecal valve.
