Appendicitis

The appendix is a small, tube-like organ
attached to the first part of the large
intestine, also
called the colon. It is located in the
lower right area of the abdomen. It has no
known function. A
blockage inside of the appendix causes
appendicitis. The blockage leads to
increased pressure,
problems with blood flow and inflammation.
If the blockage is not treated, the
appendix can break
open and leak infection into the body.
