The Latin term appendix<\/em> came to our language as appendix<\/strong>. The concept has several uses: according to the first meaning found in the dictionary elaborated by the Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>), an appendix is something that is added or attached to something else<\/strong>, as an accessory or complement.<\/p>\n

\"Appendix\"For example: \"In the appendix of the report, the World Health Organization offers numerous statistics on infant mortality around the world\"<\/em>, \"Readers can find all the sources I consulted in the book's appendix\"<\/em>, \"The new industrial plant will have an appendix that will serve as a deposit\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Appendix can be used as a synonym for addendum<\/strong>: what is added to a text in order to expand the contents of the main body. A book, manual, or contract may have appendices.<\/p>\n

Many and varied are the types of appendix of this class that exist. However, among the most significant we can highlight the following:
-The appendices as a glossary of terms. Their clear function is to be able to explain to the reader what the most significant and important terms that he has been able to find throughout the publication mean. The usual thing is that they appear in the form of a list and ordered alphabetically.
-Adresses appendices. These are not physical addresses as such but rather the web pages that are of interest in relation to the matter that has been addressed in the publication.
-The documentation appendices. As their name already indicates, they are those who try to collect and gather important documents that explain what has been stated in previous pages. As a general rule, they will appear in alphabetical order and next to the sources where they were obtained.<\/p>\n

Broadly speaking, we can establish that these are the types of appendix that can be found. However, it is interesting to know that, in recent years and as a consequence of the advancement of technology, they can be presented in a different format than the rest of the publication. Thus, for example, it can be on paper and the appendices be shown in pen drive or even cd or dvd format. <\/p>\n

In the field of biology<\/strong>, the appendix is \u200b\u200ba vestigial organ<\/strong> (lost its functions with evolution) that is attached to the cecum (the first section of the large intestine). Also called cecal appendix<\/strong>, vermicular appendix<\/strong> or vermiform appendix<\/strong>, it is a cylindrical and hollow structure.<\/p>\n

The inflammation of the appendix<\/strong> receives the name of appendicitis<\/strong>. This disorder causes severe pain and forces the appendix to be removed from the Body<\/strong> through a surgical intervention called appendectomy<\/strong>. If this operation is not performed, appendicitis can lead to an infection that causes peritonitis<\/strong> (an inflammation of the peritoneum that can cause death).<\/p>\n

Among the most common symptoms that indicate the existence of appendicitis are from dizziness to fever through diarrhea, loss of appetite or vomiting. However, the most striking is the set of pains in the lower right area of \u200b\u200bthe abdomen. <\/p>\n

Finally, in arthropods, the appendage is called the structure<\/strong> which is made up of elements that are articulated with each other and that appear in pairs, such as at<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
