What is the ileocecal junction?
The ileocecal junction is the anatomical point where the ileum, the final section of the small intestine, meets the cecum, the initial part of the large intestine. This junction plays a crucial role in digestion and the absorption of nutrients, as it regulates the flow of digestive material from the small intestine to the large intestine. It also contains the ileocecal valve, which helps prevent backflow of contents from the cecum into the ileum. Proper functioning of this junction is essential for maintaining digestive health.
