Between the small intestine and the large intestine is a sphincter-type valve called the Ileocecal Valve (ICV). The purpose of this valve is to âprevent backflowâ from the Large Intestine, once any material leaves the Small Intestine.
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals of the clade Dinosauria that first appeared during the Triassic period. Although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research, the current scientific consensus places their origin between 231 and 243 million years ago. They became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates after the TriassicâJurassic extinction event 201 million years ago. Their dominance continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and ended when the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups 66 million years ago.
Dinosaurs first appeared in the Triassic period about 230 million  years ago. Non-avian dinosaurs roamed the earth until about 65  million years ago and then were wiped out,â¦ most like by the impact  of an asteroid or comet. Birds, which are now classified with the  dinosaurs, continue to live to this day. Dinosaurs lived on earth for over 160 million years. They were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates from the late Triassic period (around 230 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (around 65 million years ago).
