Answer

◇The caecum is a small blind pouch like structure that opens into the colon and it possesses a narrow finger like tubular projection called vermiform appendix.

Answer:

The cecum functions differently in various animal species. Though most vertebrates’ digestive systems include a cecum, carnivores such as tigers and wolves have either a very small cecum, or it is nonexistent. Since these animals do not consume plant matter, the cecum is unnecessary. The cecum of herbivores is much larger than the cecum of omnivores. These animals consume more cellulose and water, making a larger cecum necessary for effective digestion. Human kidneys contain more than a million nephrons, or individual filtration units. Each nephron is made up of renal tubules and blood vessels, which pass substances back and forth in order to filter wastes and preserve water balance in the body. Key structures within these nephrons remove water from the bloodstream and then allow it to be reabsorbed back into the body as needed.
