The Ileum opens into the large intestine, which has caecum, colon and rectum. The caecum is a small blind sac which hosts some symbiotic micro-organisms. The entry of ileum and caecum is guarded by ileo-caecal valve.

The undigested, unabsorbed substances called faeces enters into the caecum through this ileo-caecal valve. This valve prevents the back flow of the faecal matter. It is temporarily stored in the rectum till defaecation.
