Appendix. Light micrograph of a section through the human appendix. The appendix is a short,blunt-ended tube attached to the end of the caecum,a pouch at the start of the large intestine. It is not known to have any function in humans. At centre left is the lumen space with a folded mucosal wall (purple). Around this wall is lymphoid tissue (pink and blue) which often forms follicles. This is surrounded by an outer serosa layer (pink). Magnification: x2.5 at 35mm size | |
