The cecal valve, also known as the ileocecal valve, regulates the flow of digested material from the small intestine (ileum) into the large intestine (cecum). It prevents the backflow of contents from the cecum into the ileum, helping to maintain proper digestion and absorption. Additionally, the valve plays a role in controlling the timing of waste material entering the colon, contributing to efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients.
