What is a haustration?
Haustration is the mixing of feces to expose it to the surface of intestine to absorb water. they are sac like structures foldings in large intestine. At each of these constrictions, about 2.5 centimeters of the circular muscle contracts, sometimes constricting the lumen of the colon almost to occlusion. At the same time, the longitudinal muscle of the colon, which is aggregated into three longitudinal strips called the teniae coli, contracts. These combined contractions of the circular and longitudinal strips of muscle cause the unstimulated portion of the large intestine to bulge outward into baglike sacs called haustrations.

The iliocecal sphincterThe ileum is the last (and longest) portion of small intestine. It empties into into the cecum (the first part of the "large intestine") at the iliocecal junction. The iliocecal sphincter is a ring of invountary smooth muscle at this junction, controlling the passage of digestive contents from the small intestine to the large intestine.
What is the illeocecal valve?
The iliocecal valve is an involuntary smooth muscle sphincter located between the ileum (small intestine) and the secum (portion of large intestine). Its function is to prevent backflow or reflux into the ileum.
