Ileocaecal Valve, Baushniev Valve

Ileocaecal Valve, Baushniev Valve (Ileocaecal Valve) - a complex anabolic device located at the site of the ileum in the small intestine; equipped with a muscular sphincter and two “lips”. The valve opens periodically, allowing contents to pass in small portions into the colon. Closing the valve prevents colon contents from flowing back into the ileum.

The Ileocecal valve (Baushniev valve) is a complex anabolic mechanism located at the junction of the ileum and the colon. It is equipped with a muscular sphincter, which periodically opens and allows the contents of the small intestine to pass in small portions into the large intestine, and then closes, preventing the contents of the large intestine from flowing back into the ileum.

The valve consists of two “lips” that enclose the ileum and create a barrier to the leakage of colon contents. The valve opens regularly, allowing the contents of the small intestine to slowly flow into the large intestine and be evenly distributed along its entire length.

The opening and closing of the valve is controlled by various factors, including intestinal motility, intestinal fluid levels, and external stimulation. The valve can also be susceptible to various diseases, such as inflammation or infection, which can affect its function.

It is important to understand that the Ileocecal valve plays an important role in the functioning of the digestive system. It ensures even distribution of contents, prevents backflow of contents and maintains intestinal health. Therefore, if you have problems with the operation of this valve, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The Ileo-Caecal valve is a complex anabolic device located at the site of the sigmoid and ileum. This valve, equipped with muscular sphincters and two lips, opens periodically, allowing a small amount of contents to pass into the colon and, conversely, prevents the contents of the colon from flowing back into the ileum during operation.

The main functions of the Ileocecal valve are to ensure the independent movement of contents from the small intestine to the large intestine and vice versa. Normally, this device functions autonomously, but in some intestinal diseases, such as inflammation or scarring of the intestines,
