Detailed explanation-1: -The cecum is the beginning of the colon. The small intestine feeds into the cecum through a small channel in the side of it (the ileocecal valve), so the end of the cecum is actually closed like a pouch. This pouch, the first 6 inches of the colon, is also the widest portion of the large intestine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cecum: This first section of your large intestine looks like a pouch, about two inches long. It takes in digested liquid from the ileum and passes it on to the colon.
Detailed explanation-3: -cecum, also spelled caecum, pouch or large tubelike structure in the lower abdominal cavity that receives undigested food material from the small intestine and is considered the first region of the large intestine.
