The s-shaped portion of the large intestine is called the sigmoid colon. Sigmoid comprises two parts: sigma(the Greek letter S) and the suffix -oid (which means like or similar to). Thus, sigmoid means similar to an S.
The portion of the small intestine that attaches to the cecum is the ileum. The connection point is called the ileocecal valve, which regulates the flow of contents from the small intestine into the large intestine.
c. cecum which is the first portion of the large intestine)
The duodenum is only the first portion of the small intestine. The small intestine comprises the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Following the ileum of the small intestine is the ileocecal valve, which separates the small intestine from the large intestine. The duodenum is separated from the stomach by the pyloric sphincter.
The small intestine empties into the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine or colon. This is where the small intestine connects to the large intestine, allowing for the continuation of digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The middle portion of the small intestine is called the jejunum. It is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption in the digestive system due to its large surface area created by the presence of villi and microvilli.
The cecum is the first portion of the large intestine.
The vermiform appendix, or appendix, hangs from the lower portion of the cecum. The cecum is the first section of the large intestine.

The portion of the small intestine that joins the large intestine is called the ileum. It connects to the large intestine at a region known as the cecum, which is the beginning of the large intestine. The ileum is responsible for the absorption of nutrients and bile salts before the remaining undigested food passes into the large intestine for further processing.
Sigmoid colon The final portion of the large intestine that empties into the rectum.
The duodenum is the first portion of the small intestine. The jejunum is the middle portion of the small intestine. And the ileum is the last and longest portion of the small intestine, extends from the jejunum to the cecum of the large intestine.
The small intestine- duodenum, jejuneum, and ileum.
The terminal portion of the small intestine is called the ileum. It connects to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve.
The portion of the small intestine that attaches to the cecum is the ileum. The connection point is called the ileocecal valve, which regulates the flow of contents from the small intestine into the large intestine.
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.
