Cecum

The cecum or caecum is a pouch connected to the ascending colon of the large intestine and the ileum. It is separated from the ileum by the ileocecal valve or Bauhin's valve, and is considered to be the beginning of the large intestine. It is also separated from the colon by the cecocolic junction.
