		Degraded carrageenan is absorbed by the caecum and proximal colon of the guinea-pig and rabbit where it can be demonstrated in the macrophages of the lamina propria by staining with toluidine blue or by newly developed Alcian blue technique which distinguishes degraded carrageenan from mucopolysaccharides.
		Gross thickening of the mucosa of the caecum and colon was seen with small sessile polypoid formations on the summit of rugi of the caecum.
		Ulceration which occurred in the caecum of rabbits given degraded carrageenan by gastric intubation together with dietary neomycin developed ulcers which were in all respects similar to that seen in guinea-pigs similarly treated.

	Vestigiality of the human appendix
		The caecum varies in size among species, but in general the size of the caecum is proportional to the amount of plant matter in a given organism's diet.
		In many herbivorous mammals the caecum is as large as the rest of the intestines, and it may even be coiled and longer than the length of the entire organism (as in the koala).
		Being the termination of the caecum, the human vermiform appendix is also a "blind pouch," and another name for the appendix is in fact the "true caecal apex" (Berry 1900).

		A caecum is a blind-ended pouch that is attached to the digestive tract just between the small intestine and the large intestine.
		Inside the caecum, symbiotic bacteria digest the cellulose; once the cellulose is digested into glucose, it is moved out of the caecum and back into the large intestine.
		Humans don't have an enlarged caecum, but we do have a very small pouch where a caecum would be, and we call it the appendix.

		The caecum may or may not be palpable in the ventral abdomen.
		In these cases, the caecum is full of impacted material that can be seen radiographically and the colon is distended with gas and mucus.

		The classical xray appearance is of a hugely dilated, "comma-shaped" caecum is seen in the epigastrium and left upper quadrant.
		The usual fixation of the caecum in the right iliac fossa fails to occur during development, and the caecum retains a mesentery, which is continuous with the mesentery of the ileum.
		Rotation of the caecum around this mesentery may then occur in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction so to that the caecum comes out of the right iliac fossa and sits in the middle or left side of the upper abdomen.

		Studies have shown that the caecum is the largest of intestinal organs in this rodent and it presents the greatest capacity in relation to the other animals.
		The following biometrical parameters were obtained: body weight, crown-rump length, thoracic perimeter, lengths of the small intestine, large intestine and caecum, volume of the caecum and the average weight of the eyes’ bulb lenses that determined the age of the animals.
		The measures of the capybara’s caecum were correlated with different morphologic and biometric aspects of this animal in different phases of growth, from birth to the adult stage.

		“Caecum” is from Latin and basically means “blind-ended pouch” or “cul-de-sac.” And while there is such a part to be found in a person’s intestines, it is also an accurate description of these little snails’ shells.
		The even smaller Caecum orcutti has a fairly similar range but is found a bit higher in the tidal zone, on the underside of rocks.
		The Many-Named Caecum (Caecum crebricinctum), a relative giant at 1/4 inch in length, is only found below the tidal zone, in the gravel around kelp beds, from British Colombia to Baja.

		A majority of the digestive process occurs in the koala's highly developed caecum, where fermentation and microbial breakdown supply the koala with a sufficient amount of energy to meet its reduced metabolic requirements (Ullrey et al., 1981).
		Compared to it's body size, the caecum of the koala is strikingly enormous.
		In addition, within the caecum and proximal colon of the koala, there are 8 to 14 longitudinal folds that augment the surface area enormously.

		The caecum thus appears to be a blind pouch branching off from the small intestine-colon axis (Figure 2).
		The caecum is followed by a 1.5 m colon: this is creased and dented for about 50 cm (proximal colon) and smooth in the terminal section (distal colon).
		If the caecum content enters the colon in the early part of the morning it undergoes few biochemical changes.

		Three cases of inflammatory pseudotumor involving the caecum were previously described,3,5,6 To our knowledge, there are no other reports of this tumour affecting the caecum.
		Inflammatory pseudotumors of the caecum are uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms with a variable histologic appearance.
		Features which are associated with a higher recurrence risk are intra-abdominal, omental, mesenteric or retroperitoneal location; proximity to vital structures and multinodularity.1 In this case, the tumour was intraabdominal for which a right hemicolectomy was performed.

		Generally speaking, the length of the small intestine (3 to 3.5 m) and its relatively small capacity contrast with that of the storage area (the stomach and caecum), which hold 70 to 80 percent of the total dry matter content of the digestive tract.
		The particles that are not broken down after a total stay of about one and a half hours in the small intestine enter the caecum.
		If the feed contains few large particles and/or it is highly digestible, most of the caecal contents are pushed back to the caecum and lose elements which nourish the "normal" bacteria living in the caecum.

		July] clearly demonstrated "Caecum arcuatum de Folin, 1867" was an early stage of "C. septimentum Folin, 1867." The specimen Kay illustrated was a partially-developed third stage with an adherent second stage - making it a sort of "hybrid" - and unusually long.
		I cannot find any mention of "Caecum arcuatum" in the Fonds until the fourth (final) "Tome." I have dated this work as "1881-1887" On page 24 Caecum sepimentum, var.
		I think the name Caecum sepimentum de Folin, 1867 clearly has chronologic priority over the synonymous C. arcuatum de Folin sometime between 1881 and 1887.
