  Vestigiality of the human appendix
Being the termination of the caecum, the human vermiform appendix is also a "blind pouch," and another name for the appendix is in fact the "true caecal apex" (Berry 1900).
The anatomical definition of a vermiform appendix is a narrowed, thickened, lymphoid-rich caecal apex (Fisher 2000 and references therein).

 Vermiform appendix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In human anatomy, the vermiform appendix (or appendix, pl. appendices) is a blind ended tube connected to the caecum (American English "cecum").
The term "vermiform" comes from Latin and means "wormlike in appearance".

 The human vermiform appendix
In summary therefore, the human vermiform appendix appears to be a complex and organised structure both in its development and maturation, and almost certainly has corresponding complexity in its functions which, like most gastrointestinal functions, are still awaiting further clarification.
The appendix is thus one of the guardians of the internal environment of the body from the hostile external environment.
Thus whereas the choice of the adjective ‘vermiform’, meaning worm-like, is accurately descriptive of the organ, the choice of the noun ‘appendix’ from the beginning of the organ’s nomenclature, gave it little chance of ever being considered important.

NOTES ON TAXONOMY AND BIOLOGY: Nacobbus aberrans vermiform females resemble lesion nematodes (Pratylenchus) with respect to the flattened head and the posterior vulva position, and the burrowing nematodes (Radopholus sp.) with respect to the position of the esophageal glands that overlap the intestine dorsally.

Officially a celebration of Vermiform's 11-1/2-year anniversary (money problems postponed the intended decade milepost), False Object Sensor is messy, grating, uneven, and totally brilliant.
