Description

Wikipedia specifies:

The ileocecal fold (or ileocaecal fold) is an anatomical structure of the human abdomen formed by a layer of peritoneum between the ileum and cecum. The upper border of the ileocecal fold is fixed to the ileum opposite its mesenteric attachment, and the lower border passes over the ileocecal junction to join the mesentery of the appendix (and sometimes the appendix itself as well). Behind the ileocecal fold is the inferior ileocecal fossa.[1]

IN FMA we have:

Research direction

Start with the proposed UBERON classification and compare it with the FMA:16532 definition and relationships in the issue. Locate the ontology source and its contribution guidance, then determine the appropriate term entry and relationships; the work is done when the ileocecal fold is represented consistently with the cited anatomy sources and project conventions.
