The ileum lays between the jejunum and cecum. The ileum is fairly similar in operation to the jejunum (ie; loaded with mucous membranes and villi to absorb nutrients from food).
c. cecum which is the first portion of the large intestine)
The ileum is the final section of the small intestine, located between the jejunum and the cecum (the beginning of the large intestine). It is responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food and transferring them to the bloodstream.
The ileum is located in the abdomen. It is the final part od the small intestine and is interwtined with the resof it. This is the section that joints to the cecum of the large intestine. The Ileum is not to be confused with the Illium which forms the large winglike part of the pelvis.
The Cecum is part of the Large Intestine. It is located near the Appendix.
The cecum is located in the first part of the large intestine. This serves as a connection between the ileum to the ascending colon and a part of the intestine that moves the waste to be excreted.

cecum
It is the Appendix
The superior mesenteric artery supplies blood to the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), part of the large intestine (cecum, appendix, ascending colon, and proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon), and the pancreas.
It is 3 inches wide and it is around 5 feet long.
The term "from cecum to rectum" refers to the entire length of the large intestine, starting from the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine, and ending at the rectum, which is the final part before the anus. The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes, as well as forming and storing feces before elimination.
