In the human body, which structure is the appendix attached to?
✓ Correct answer: a) The large intestine
ExplanationThe appendix is a small, tube-like structure that is attached to the large intestine.It is located at the junction where the small intestine (specifically the ileum) meets the large intestine.This area is known as the cecal junction, and the appendix is attached to the cecum, which is a pouch-like structure in the lower right abdomen.The appendix is thought to be a vestigial organ, meaning it may have once had a more significant function in digestion but is now largely considered to be without a clear, vital role.UPSC GS Paper-I PYQs 622 423
