The Cecum Can Be Seen in a Cross-Section at the Level

Question

The cecum can be seen in a cross-section at the level of vertebra T12.

Accepted Answer

The cecum is typically located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, at the level of the iliac fossa, which corresponds to the region around the junction of the ileum and the colon, not at the level of vertebra T12. T12 is higher up and more associated with structures in the upper abdomen.
