Question

Which part of the large intestine acts as a pouch at the junction with the small intestine and commonly bears the appendix, and which region temporarily stores feces prior to defecation?

Cecum is the pouch with the appendix; rectum temporarily stores feces before defecation

Answer

Colon is the pouch and contains the appendix; the cecum stores feces temporarily prior to defecation
