The first sentence: "The ileocecal valve, or ileocaecal valve, is a papillose structure with physiological sphincter muscle situated at the junction of the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine, with recent evidence indicating an anatomical sphincter may also be present in humans" is quite confusing and I had to read it several times to (I think) understand what it means. At first, I had understood it was not known in humans, but actually, I guess it means that it has also a sphincter function that was not known, though it contains a sphincter-like muscle. Is that right? It should probably rephrased. Loqueelvientoajuarez ( talk) 09:03, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Clinical significance: When Auscultating for bowel sounds, start auscultating at the Ileocecal valve area because bowel sounds are normally always present in this locatation. Source: Jarvis Physical examination & health assessment 2nd edition. (page 559)
I have a PDF textbook to share if someone can help me edit the article as this is my first time editing wikipedia. QuadeJaworski ( talk) 00:52, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
The sources say it's the bowels, before and after the valve, that does the absorption. It's not the valve that does that. Statement removed. [1] -- Hjordmån ( talk) 10:07, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
