The lining of the small intestine has tiny, finger-shaped tissues (villi). These raised tissues greatly increase the surface area of the intestine, which absorbs calories and nutrients from food. The small intestine consists of three parts. The first part, called the duodenum, connects to the stomach. The middle part is the jejunum. The third part, called the ileum, attaches to the colon.
The cecum is the first part of the large intestine. 1  It begins caudally from the ileocecal valve and ends blindly in the right iliac fossa. Typically, the cecum is located intraperitoneally in the right lower abdomen and has a length of 5 to 7 cm. However, due to an incomplete rotation of the umbilical loop during embryogenesis it may lie quite variably. Therefore clinically, one differentiates between three important variations: mobile cecum (completely covered by peritoneum)
