The cavity in which the large intestine begins and into which the ileum opens.
1Wherever possible milking of a phytobezoar to the caecum should be performed.
2S, cut end of duodenum; C, caecum; R, cut end of rectum.
3Fermentation and cellulose digestion occur in the caecum and double colon.
4Insufficient tagging occurred mostly in the ascending colon and the caecum.
5S, cut end of duodenum; R, cut end of rectum; C, caecum; CL, colon.
6The atrophied end of the caecum is the famous rudimentary organ, the vermiform appendix.
7Its internal opening into the caecum is about 1 in.
8It usually involves ileum and caecum, and involvement of rectum has rarely been reported.
9They're about to start a lecture about the caecum and its role in colic.'
10The number of bifidobacteria in the caecum and selected meat traits of broilers were determined.
11At present, faeces are commonly sampled from live animals, while caecum is most commonly sampled from terminated animals.
12Introduction: The authors present a case review of a localized Peutz-Jeghers syndrome of the caecum, emulating a carcinoma.
13The dog-fox's caecum is so different from the vixen's that Gray would have made distinct genera of them.
14The taeniae in the caecum all lead to the vermiform appendix, and form a useful guide to this structure.
15S, cut end of duodenum; R, cut end of rectum; C, caecum; C2, accessory caecum; C.L, colic loop of hind-gut.
16Next, in most birds, the caeca when present are paired, whereas in most mammals there is only a single caecum.
