It feels like a hard lump at the end of the stomach. Connects to the duodenum of the small intestine.
A= Cecum B = vermiform appendix C = sacculus rotundus Small intestine is on the left side of the cecum in the picture, and large intestine is on the right side of the picture. Regions of the small intestine are not clear, but the first area immediately following the pylorus is the duodenum. Then after, it is the jejunum, and then the ileum.
