Ileocecal Pocket Superior

The superior ileocecal recess is one of the upper sections of the digestive system of humans and animals, consisting of the upper part of the cecum and part of the appendix. This pocket is located in the abdominal cavity between the anterior abdominal wall and the abdominal aorta. It plays an important role in the digestive process as it contains bacteria that aid in the absorption of nutrients and the production of vitamins. In this article we will look at the main functions, structure and diseases of the superior ileocal recess.

The inferior ileocal recess is part of the lower part of the cecum and the upper part of the colon. It is filled with feces and exposed to stomach acid and enzymes, as well as colonocytes (epithelial cells) that digest waste. All these processes lead to the formation of intestinal gases that mix with bacteria that cause food poisoning - flatulence, colic and diarrhea. When we eat, intestinal gases enter the rectum, helping to move foods to the exit site. Excreta
