where does the large intestine connect to the small intestine?
ileocecal valve
in the human digestive system, the stomach is responsible for mechanical and chemical digestions. the small intestine is involved in both the absorption and digestion of nutrients, whereas the large intestine is responsible for the elimination of wastes (defecation). the small intestine consists of 3 parts: duodenum, jejunum and ileum. the duodenum is the first part of the small intestine and is connected to the stomach via the pyloric valve. the jejunum is the second and middle part of the small intestine. the ileum is the last part of the small intestine and is connected to the cecum, a part of the large intestine, via the ileocecal valve.

the small intestine is about 20 feet and goes behind the big large intestine then makes a mass of curly tube. the small intestine is divided into 3 parts: duodenum, jejunum and ileum. the duodenum receives particles from different organs like, the pancreas. the pancreas will start secreting things into the first section of the duodenum. the second part is the jejunum and it is located in the middle of the small intestine. when looking at a model, one cannot tell when it stops and starts, therefore, you'll need to look as logically as possible to try and figure out exactly where it is. then the final part of the small intestine is the ilium. the ilium is connected right into the large intestine. the ileum is connected right into the ileum cecum valve which is the beginning of the large intestine. the large intestine, also known as the large bowel, is the last part of the gastrointestinal tract and of the digestive system.  one disease that affects the lining of the gi tract. crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. crohn's most commonly affects the end of the small bowel (the ileum) and the beginning of the colon, but it may affect any part of the gastrointestinal (gi) tract, from the mouth to the anus. the article “crohn's disease of the large intestine” states that “ the  diagnosis of crohn’s disease  can sometimes be established or confirmed by examination of tissues of removed at laparotomy when resection of the intestinal lesions is indicated” (morson, 502). overall, crohn’s disease affects both large and small intestine.
