👉 The term "appendice" is a medical term that refers to the part of the digestive tract that contains small, finger-like structures called appendixes. These appendices are located in the right colon and are responsible for absorbing nutrients from food. The appendixes can be divided into two types: the left and right appendices. The left appendix is usually smaller than the right appendix and is located near the umbilicus (the opening of the abdomen), while the right appendix is larger and more prominent
