The small intestine connects to the large intestine about a hands length beneath the liver.
The portion of the S.I. is called the ileum and the portion it joins to is the cecum.
A sphincter connects the two, preventing back flow.
Below the junction is the appendix, which is essentially the tapering off of the large intestine into a rat tail like shape. Matter is supposed to continue up through this part of L.I. hence it's named the ascending colon.
