ceca
Clinical description:
At the junction between the ileum and the descending colon, are two blind-ended sacs known as the ceca. In domestic poultry, the cecae are large structures that bend over themselves, with their apices pointing caudally. The walls should be thin and semi-translucent, allowing the greenish-colored intestinal contents to be visualized within. If the walls are opaque, thin or irregular, infection should be suspected.
