| Â | Vestigiality of the human appendix |
 | | In many herbivorous mammals the caecum is as large as the rest of the intestines, and it may even be coiled and longer than the length of the entire organism (as in the koala). | | | Even though humans eat cellulose, the contribution to cellulose digestion by both the human caecum and its associated appendix is negligible. | | | Otherwise cellulose is impossible for mammals to digest. |

| | A majority of the digestive process occurs in the koala's highly developed caecum, where fermentation and microbial breakdown supply the koala with a sufficient amount of energy to meet its reduced metabolic requirements (Ullrey et al., 1981). | | | This marsupial herbivore is often referred to as having the greatest caecal development within the Mammalia. | | | Many studieds of the have closely examined the digestive system of the koala and noted the exteme development of the caecum. |

| | Stimulating a large number of trigger-points of all biological systems, after a variable latency time (lt), in healthy fixed in well defined tissue, brings about caecum dilation: physiologically, the reflex lasts £ 4 sec., and then the viscera volume returns to basal size for >3 <4 sec., i. | | | Cerebral trigger-points stimulation provokes caecum dilation; these parameters, however, appear to be the same as those of cerebral-gastric aspecific reflex. | | | In practice, it is enough to assess exclusively gastric aspecific reflex. |

| | Acid and ammonia damage the wall of the caecum and large intestine and upset the natural balance of the digestive system. | | | The caecum has evolved to ferment fibre (rather like a compost heap). | | | More recent research has demonstrated that the increased risk of Salmonella is linked to whether feed is digested or fermented. |

| | The pig is descended from herbivores whose caecum was undoubtedly vital for digeting cellulose, but, like ourselves, it has become an omnivore and gets little if any nutrition from cellulose. | | | In this diagram, you can also see the bottom of the rectum (slightly out of focus below the caecum) as it passes between the umbilical arteries on its way to the anus. | | | The other end of the "T" (4) is the caecum. |

| | A functioning caecum is also vital for providing the energy needs of hindgut fermenters like horses, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs and swine. | | | However, in many herbivorous mammals, the large appendix-like pouch of the caecum is an alternative site for fermentation of food. | | | It can be removed and its tissue used in reconstructive surgery of the bladder without risking the immune reaction that would be triggered by using tissue from another individual. |

| | The caecum is the most important part of the digestive system and if it malfunctions mucoid enteropathy can occur. | | | The caecum, like the rest of the digestive system should be in continual motion whilst processing the food. | | | I strongly believe that Mucoid Enteropathy is not a disease that rabbits catch from each other, but rather a response to external factors that cause the normal digestive process to malfunction. |

This refers to the fact that the bottom of the caecum is a blind pouch (a cul de sac) leading nowhere. |

| Â | caecum |
| | In anatomy of the digestive system, the cecum or caecum is a pouch connected to the large intestine between the ileum and the colon. | | | It is separated from the ileum by the ileocecal valve (abbreviated as ICV) or Bauhin's valve, and is considered to be the beginning of the large intestine and part of the colon. |

| | This would appear to increase the risk of undesirable bacteria developing in this impoverished environment, some of which might be harmful. | | | The small intestine ends at the base of the caecum. | | | Physiological studies show that this blind pouch-reservoir forms part of the digestive tract: the contents circulate from the base to the tip passing through the centre of the caecum, then return towards the base, along the wall. |
