CAECUM

Cæ "cum, n.; pl. Cæcums, L. Cæca. Etym: [L. caecus blind, invisible, concealed. ] (Anat. ) (a ) A cavity open at one end, as the blind end of a canal or duct. (b ) The blind part of the large intestine beyond the entrance of the small intestine; -- called also the blind gut.

Note: The cæcum is comparatively small in man, and ends in a slender portion, the vermiform appendix; but in herbivorous mammals it is often as large as the rest of the large intestine. In fishes there are often numerous intestinal cæca.
