The caecum is a blind ending diverticulum of the large intestine and it exists at the junction of the '''[[Ileum - Anatomy & Physiology|ileum]]''' and the ascending '''[[Colon - Anatomy & Physiology|colon]]'''. Its size and physiological importance varies between species. It is a site of microbial fermentation, absorption and transportation.
