In French, a kangaroo's pouch is called "la poche." This term directly translates to "the pocket," reflecting the pouch's function as a protective space for the kangaroo's young.
The blind pouch at the distal end of the colon is called the appendix. It is a small, tube-like structure attached to the cecum, which is the beginning of the large intestine. The function of the appendix is not well understood, but it is believed to play a role in immune function.
A j-pouch, or ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, typically lasts many years, with studies showing that over 80% of patients maintain good function for at least 10 years post-surgery. However, some individuals may experience complications or pouchitis that can affect long-term function. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor the pouch's health and address any issues that arise. Overall, many people enjoy a good quality of life with their j-pouch for decades.
For a start, the kangaroo does not use "his" pouch for anything. Only the female kangaroo has a pouch. This pouch is not used to just "carry" the joey, but it acts as the womb does in placental mammals, protecting and nurturing the young joey while it is developing. It has no other function apart from this. It is not used to collect food or for any other purpose.

The correct name for the spiny anteater is echidna. The echidna is not a marsupial, which is the general term for pouched mammals, but a female echidna does develop a pouch, or rather a flap of skin, during the breeding season. She curls up and lays her single egg in this pouch, where it is then incubated until it hatches. Sometimes, the male even develops a pouch during breeding season, but it serves absolutely no function.
Yes, the dunnart has a pouch. Most, not all, marsupials do have a pouch.

The stomach pouch of a jellyfish serves as the primary site for digestion. Once a jellyfish captures its prey using its tentacles, the prey is moved into the stomach pouch where it is broken down by enzymes. The nutrients from the digested prey are then absorbed through the stomach lining and distributed throughout the jellyfish's body to support its metabolic functions.
