The cecum in domestic mammals differs not only from the human cecum but also comparatively morphologically and topographically among the domestic mammals. The appendix vermiformis does not exist in domestic mammals, which represents the main difference between the human cecum and that of domestic mammals. There are certainly some differences in the physiological function of the cecum in man and the cecum in domestic mammals, which are carnivores, omnivores and herbivores.
