Age differences within human vermiform appendix (Anatomical and Histological study)

Abstract

Vermiform appendix (VA) is a worm like diverticulum which is tubular vestigial structure situated in the right iliac fossa. It is a narrow, worm‑shaped, arising from posteromedial cecal wall 2 cm or less below the end of the ileocecal junction. The body of appendix is kinked on itself where the free border of mesoappendix ends. Hence, it is coiled like a worm and so is named the ‘Vermiform Appendix’. Also vermiform appendix shows length variation in sex and racial groups.
