Best Answer

The appendix is part of the immune system and it is attached to the digestive tract. The appendix is usually located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, near the right hip bone.
It's position within the abdomen corresponds to a point on the surface known as McBurney's point .While the base of the appendix is at a fairly constant location, 2 cm below the ileocecal valve,
the location of the tip of the appendix can vary from being retrocecal (behind the cecum) (74% of the time) to being in the pelvis to being extraperitoneal (occurring or located outside the peritoneal cavity).
