Its rounded blind end commonly lies at the right side of pelvic inlet D24!r1!-"/;9 Cecum stats from ileum and directly continues in front with colon, Cecum extend bac(ward and upward along the right flan(, from where it is separated by greater omentum.. Cecum is attached along it)s medial side to the mesentery, except the posterior third, which is free and variable in position

Histology of Cecum;
Mucosa (mu) of the cecum lacks villi but has long simple tubular intestinal glands with many goblet cells. The submucosa has large lymphatic nodules (n) A tunica muscularis (m) of smooth muscle follows the typical histologic pattern of intestinal tract.

Histology of cecum

Function;
Cecum (such as the at!s " other herbivores) is area for digestion of high fiber materials (plant material)# $ften serve as storage %ones for cellulose digesting bacteria.(for those animals having large caecum) &reviously undigested fiber may also be broken down

A12-"1 !1"# is utili*ed minimally in the liver, and is oxidi*ed throughout most of the body to generate AT+. Another important use of acetate is as the ma,or source of acetyl CoA for synthesis of lipids. Pr/5r"/;"1 !1"# is almost completely removed from portal blood by the liver. -ithin the liver, proprionate serves as a ma,or substrate for gluconeogenesis, which is absolutely critical to the ruminant because almost no glucose reaches the small intestine for absorption. B3-7r"1 !1"#, most of which comes out of the rumen as the (etone beta"hydroxybutyric acid, is oxidi*ed in many tissues for energy production.
