==Introduction==
The ileum is the terminal portion of the [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology|small intestine]] and continues from the [[Jejunum - Anatomy & Physiology|jejunum]]. It opens into the [[Caecum - Anatomy & Physiology|caecum]] at the ileocaecal orifice. The intestinal epithelium is mainly absorptive, with much less digestion occuring compared to the [[Duodenum - Anatomy & Physiology|duodenum]] and the [[Jejunum - Anatomy & Physiology|jejunum]].
