Vermiform appendix

In human anatomy, the vermiform appendix (or appendix, pl. appendices) is a blind ended tube connected to the cecum. It develops embryologically from the cecum. The term "vermiform" comes from Latin and means "wormlike in appearance". The cecum is the first pouch-like structure of the colon. The appendix is near the junction of the small intestines and large intestines.

Whether the appendix has a function or not, it can be removed without any ill effects.
