  1. On the Right


  2. in a jar on the sideboard

  3. A doctor once showed me how to locate it. Take the thumb of your right hand and place it on your right hip bone. Now point downward just a tiny bit with your index finger and slowly swing your whole hand around to the left until your index finger points to your abdomen. Your appendix is right in there.

  4. It lies anteriorly, (at the front,) under 'Mcburney's Point  '. The name given to the point over the right side of the abdomen that is one-third of the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus (the belly button). This point roughly corresponds to the most common location of the base of the appendix where it is attached to the caecum.

  5. It is located on your right side at the bottom ( or the right lower quadrant of your abdomen).  But when it is infected you will hurt on the lower left side, called "rebound tenderness".  Especially if someone touches or "palpates" you on that spot.

  6. Front, right side, low down.


  7. lower right quadrant of the abdomen
