Hey,
We all have appendix, except if you had it also surgically removed. This is a closed-ended and narrow tube that is attached to the first part of the colon. It is found in the right lower side of the stomach and when a person get an Appendicitis attack, it is under a lot of pain (stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, also fever). Appendicitis can cause death if it isn’t surgically removed, while having an attack, since the wall of appendix contains lymphatic tissue that is part of the immune system for making antibodies.
Hope I satisfied your inquiry…
