Colon Cecum Movable

The cecum is the most deeply located of the long, muscular, mobile intestines of mammals and humans. The nomenclatural Latin name, derived from the Greek “blind” and “mobile,” is “caecum mobile.”\n\nThe spleen runs along the right side of the abdomen, next to the cecum, in the area of ​​the right hypochondrium. Due to incorrect posture, it can shift to one side or another. The area where this organ adjoins the intestine normally does not interfere with the passage of food and digestion, but after childbirth, during excessive formation of the placenta, palpation of the wall becomes noticeably more difficult.
