In the human body, which structure is the appendix attached to?

The vermiform appendix is a narrow, blind‑ended tube that opens into the cecum, which is the first part of the large intestine at the ileocecal junction. Anatomical references state the appendix is attached to the first part of the large intestine (the colon/cecum) and lies near where the small intestine empties into the large intestine [1]. Detailed anatomy sources describe the appendix as dorsomedially attached to the end of the cecum and commonly positioned retrocecally or in the pelvis, confirming its direct connection to the large intestine rather than the small intestine, gall bladder, or stomach [2].
