What is the function of the ileocecal valve?

The Cecum is the very first part of the Large Intestin (or Colon) into which the small intestine pushes its contents. It is in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen and the part the Appendix comes from. The Illeum is the final part of the small intestine where much of the absorption occurs. To move the food along its smooth muscle wall can conduct Peristalsis. This pushes the food into the cecum slightly above the base. When the colon conducts its own peristalsis the food is pushed up the ascending colon and past the entrance of illeum. The Ileocecal valve is between the illeum and the cecum to prevent the food that is pushed past entrance from going backwards into the illeum again instead of continuing around the tract.
