appendix
An appendix is a section or table at the end of a book or document that provides additional or supplementary information. It may include data, statistics, maps, charts, or lists that are not included in the main text because they would be too detailed or complex. This information can be referred to in the main text, but is put in an appendix to avoid interrupting the flow of the text. In anatomy, the appendix is a thin tube in the lower right abdomen that is attached to the large intestine and has no known function.
