The pouch at the start of the large intestine, where the small intestine joins it.
The caecum is a blind-ended sac at the junction of the small and large intestines, and in humans it carries the small, worm-shaped appendix. In plant-eating animals such as rabbits and horses it is much larger and helps break down tough fibre.
