A member asked:
Ileum is about 2 meters, but how long is the "terminal" portion of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Grey area: Usually refers to the last few centimeters as the ileum enters the cecum. Its not defined by any anatomic landmark.... maybe the ligament of treves, if you want to mince words.
