Vermiform Appendix

Vermiform Appendix PPT Summary

1. The appendix arises from the posteromedial aspect of the cecum below the ileocecal junction. It lies in the right iliac fossa, and McBurney’s point marks its base.
2. The appendix can be retrocausal, pelvic, or other less common positions like sub caecal or preileal, affecting clinical symptoms.
3. It has the same four-layer structure as the colon but is unique due to lymph nodules in the submucosa.
4. The appendicular artery, a branch of the posterior cecal artery, supplies blood to the appendix. Thrombosis of this artery can lead to gangrene and perforation.
5. The appendix is prone to infection due to its narrow, blind-ended structure, leading to stagnation of intestinal contents.
