Why caecum is short in human beings?

Answers 2

In herbivores, the caecum is enlarged and houses bacteria that produce cellulase an enzyme that breaks down cellulose into sugars. In this way herbivores are actually able to digest cellulose. This function no longer occurs in the human cecum, so in humans it simply forms a part of the large intestine (colon)
