  • Title: [Esential comparative, morphological and topographical differences and characteristics of the cecum in man and domestic animals].
    Author: Simić V, Ilić A.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1976; 94(2):299-310. PubMed ID: 961349.
    Abstract:
    The caecum in man as a part of the large colon (intestinum crassum) differs morphologically and topographically from the caecum of domestic mammals. The caecum in domestic mammals differs not only from the human caecum but also comparatively morphologically and topographically among the domestic mammals. The appendix vermiformis does not exist in domestic mammals, which represents the main difference between the human caecum and that of domestic mammals. There are certainly some differences in the physiological function of the caecum in man and the caecum in domestic mammals, which are carnivores, omnivores, omnivores and herbivores.
