What is an Apendix?

[Chris Gwynne]

It is...

supplementary material that is collected and appended at the back of a book

a vestigial process that extends from the lower end of the cecum and that resembles a small pouch

wormlike appendage of the bowel, located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen

Supplementary materials printed at the end of the general text.

A wormlike ?pouch? several inches long located near the top of the large intestine, in the lower right portion of the abdomen. At this time, the role the appendix plays in the human body is not known.

Supplementary materials added to the end of a document.

A part of a written work, not essential to the completeness of the text, which contains complementary information, such as statistical tables or explanatory material, too long to be included in footnotes or endnotes. An appendix differs from an addendum in having been planned from the beginning as an integral part of the work, rather than conceived after the work

Supplementary section at the end of a document which contains material relating to the main body of the document.
