==Histology==
*Caeca
**Serous coat has nerve plexuses
**Columnar epithelium and goblet cells
**Smooth muscle in folds at base
**Caecal sphincter at proximal part containing a lot of lymphoid tissue (caecal tonsil)
**Middle section has thin walls and appears green
**The bulbous blind ends have thicker walls
