Cecal contents refer to the material found in the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine. This mixture includes undigested food, bacteria, water, and digestive secretions, playing a crucial role in the fermentation of dietary fibers. In some animals, cecal contents are important for nutrient absorption and can be re-ingested to optimize digestion. In humans, while the cecum is less functionally significant than in some other species, it still contributes to the overall digestive process.
