AI overview
Your appendix is a small, tube-shaped part of your intestines that connects to the cecum (the beginning of your large intestine). While its exact purpose in humans isn't entirely clear, it can become infected or inflamed, causing appendicitis, which requires medical attention.

阑尾（拉丁語：appendix vermiformis，英語：vermiform appendix），是一個單一開口的管狀器官，連接到盲肠，它在人類胚胎時間就開始發展出來。它是一個由結腸形成的袋狀結構，所在位置接近於小腸與大腸的接合處。位於闌腸（即盲腸）的底端狀似尾巴，故名。 一如其他消化道，阑尾也有相似的结构：空腔和肠壁的结构，但阑尾容易发炎，造成所谓的阑尾炎（常被误称为盲肠炎，但实际上盲肠炎很少见）。而阑尾切除手术是外科最常见的手术之一。 它的名稱來自於拉丁語：vermiformis，意思是形狀如蟲的。在靈長總目所屬的動物中，都擁有這個器官，在人類以及與人類血緣接近的靈長類動物中，闌尾比原始靈長類更為發達。在雙門齒目有袋類、單孔目動物中，也獨立演化出類似器官，但是它的形狀與大小則依物種而有所不同。經由近代研究發現，尾椎和闌尾有相當成度的關係演化關係
