Detailed explanation-1: -Cecum. The first part of the large intestine is the cecum, a sac-like structure that is suspended inferior to the ileocecal valve . It is about 6 cm (2.4 in) long, receives the contents of the ileum, and continues the absorption of water and salts.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cecum is an end point for the colon with a dead-end portion terminating with the appendix. The connection between the end of the small intestine (ileum) and the start (as viewed from the perspective of food being processed) of the colon (cecum) is now clearly understood, and is called the ileocolic orifice.
Detailed explanation-3: -The large intestine has four parts: cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal. Partly digested food moves through the cecum into the colon, where water and some nutrients and electrolytes are removed.
