What is attached to the large intestine?
The large intestine is attached to the small intestine at the ileocecal valve. The ileocecal valve is a muscular sphincter that controls the passage of material from the small intestine into the large intestine. The large intestine is also attached to the rectum and the anus. The rectum is the final portion of the large intestine, and it leads to the anus, which is the opening through which stool passes out of the body.Digestive Health - Related Articles
