The caecum is called blind sac because caecum looks like a sac which has sphincter at the ileocaecal junction and it remains closed and is invisible. Hence, it is called a blind sac. The main functions of the cecum are to absorb fluids and salts that remain after completion of intestinal digestion and absorption and to mix its contents with a lubricating substance, mucus. The internal wall of the cecum is composed of a thick mucous membrane, through which water and salts are absorbed.
