The appendix is a small, tube-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine. It is located in the lower right side of the abdomen, specifically at the junction where the small intestine meets the large intestine (the cecum).

Key Points:

• Position: Lower right abdomen
• Attached to: Cecum (the beginning of the large intestine)
• Function: The appendix has no essential function in digestion but may play a role in immune response.

If you experience pain in this area, especially if it worsens over time, it could indicate appendicitis, which requires medical attention.
