...The vermiform appendix, more commonly known as the appendix, is a blind-ended tube connected to the caecum in the large intestine and is located in the right lower quadrant and is approximately 9cm long is considered a part of the digestive system (Derrickson, 2009). The appendix consists of a four layered tissue; from deep to sacrificial they are the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa (Derrickson, 2009). The appendix is considered a vestigial organ, an organ that once had an important role in past ancestors but no longer in present humans, and is thought to have had an important role in the digestion of plant matter (Ansaloni, Catena & Pinna, 2009). It is debated to currently have some role in immune functioning due to its association with the substantial lymphatic tissue, and for this reason is considered a part of the lymphatic system (Ansaloni, Catena & Pinna, 2009). As mentioned previously the appendix, in humans, is a vestigial organ and is no longer considered vital to human life and is commonly removed through surgery from acute appendicitis (Zissin et al., 2003). Acute appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, common symptoms include pain in the lower abdominal quadrant, nausea and vomiting. If left untreated the appendix can rupture or cause an abscess in the peritoneal cavity, which can in some circumstances lead to death (Hernandez, Jain, Rosiere, & Henderson, 2008). The process of relieving acute appendicitis is usually through surgery...
