Appendix

Hi friends...The appendix are a narrow tube- like piece of gut resembling a tail, which is located at the end of the large intestine. The tip of the tube is closed; the other end joins on to the large intestine. It is only found in humans, certain species if apes and in the wombat. Other animals have the organs in the same position as the appendix that acts as an additional stomach, where the fibrous part of the plants and cellulose in favour of meat, a special organ was no longer needed for its digestion. The only time were we are aware of appendix is when it becomes infected and this is known as appendicitis. For the most part it is a useless part of the large intestine with no function. Thus appendix is the organ present in the human body at the ends of large intestine with no function.
