Fig. 1. The ileo-colic junction in a 40 mm human embryo

(x 150)


After the 20 mm. stage it is possible to recognise at the ileo-colic junction a definite thickening of the circular muscle layer. In embryos which have been sectioned horizontally the ileo-colic junction presents a Y-shaped appearance (fig. 1). The small limb on the left side of the Y represents the base of the caeco-appendicular anlage. The right limb represents the terminal ileum while the “leg” of the Y is the proximal colon. The angle between the small limbs can be called the ileocaecal angle while the angle between the right limb and the “leg” of the Y can be called the ileo-colic angle (fig. 1).
