From Wikipedia
In the human body, the appendix (pl.: appendices or appendixes; also vermiform appendix; cecal (or caecal, cæcal) appendix; vermix; or vermiform process) is a finger-like, blind-ended tube connected to the cecum. 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 function of the appendix has long been unclear, and if it becomes inflamed (appendicitis), doctors may surgically remove it (appendectomy). Since the early 2000s, extensive work has been conducted regarding potential functions of the appendix (for example, serving as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria); however, its status as a vestigial organ persists.
