The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine
illeocaecal junction---illeocecal valve, opening to the appendix.
The sphincter muscle (also called the ileocecal valve) is found at the junction of the small and large intestine.

The appendix in humans is a structure that is not used in any way except to cause trouble. It is approximately located at the junction of the distal small intestine and proximal large intestine (aka - ileo-cecal).
Caecum
The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine.
The small intestine stops (ends) at its junction with the large intestine just above the cecum. Its origin is from the stomach at the gastroduodenal junction. The first part of the small intestine is the duodenum.
The cecal part by a junction called iliocecal junction
The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine.
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.

The large intestine is in charge of water reabsorption.
Bacteria are found in the large intestine (strictly speaking, bacteria are found everywhere, but there are a particularly large number of them in the large intestine).
