1. vermiform appendix

   The appendix (or vermiform appendix; also cecal [or caecal] appendix; vermix; or vermiform process) is a finger-like, blind-ended tube connected to the cecum, from which it develops in the embryo. The cecum is a pouch-like structure of the large intestine, located at the junction of the small and the large intestines. The term "vermiform" comes from Latin and means "worm-shaped". The appendix was once considered a vestigial organ, but this view has changed since the early 2000s. Research suggests that the appendix may serve an important purpose as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria.

1. vermiform appendix

   The vermiform appendix, often referred to simply as the appendix, is a tube-like structure attached to the lower end of the large intestine in humans. It's a thin, typically about 10 cm long, pouch that projects from the first part of the large intestine, although its size and location can vary among individuals. The function of the appendix is not fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in maintaining gut flora. In some cases, it may become inflamed or infected, a condition known as appendicitis, which usually requires surgical removal.
