What does CECUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicalzoology
A pouch located at the junction of the small and large intestines, marking the point where the large intestine begins.
The cecum sits at the start of the large intestine, forming a small pouch into which the last part of the small intestine, the ileum, opens. In humans it is a relatively minor structure best known for having the appendix attached to it, but in many plant-eating animals the cecum is much larger and plays a major role in digesting tough, fibrous food. Anatomy and biology texts sometimes use the older spelling caecum for the same structure. Its size and importance vary enormously across species, reflecting how different animals break down what they eat.
