The blind got; so called from its being perforated at one end only; called also monomachon; and by Paracelsus monocolon. What we now call the appendicula caeci, Rufus Ephesius calls the cecum. But modern anatomists divide the large intestines, which form one continued canal, into three portions. This canal begins by a kind of saccllus, or bag, which is the first of the three portions, and is called cecum. Dr. Hunter says that it lies on the inside of the os ilium upon the iliacus interims, and is only a round short broad bag, whose bottom is turned downwards, and its mouth upwards. This intestine, which is about three fingers' breadth long, is hid by the last convolution of the ileum. It hath the same bands as the colon, which take their origin from the appendicula vermiformis Winslow observes that this bag lies under the right kidney, and that its diameter is more than double that of the small intestines. Its arteries are from the mesen-terica superior. The veins are from the greater mesenteric, and one of the branches Riolan calls the vena caecalis. The nerves come from the posterior and inferior mesenteric.
