What is the normal size of the appendix? A: A human appendix is between 2 and 20 centimeters long, with an average length of 11 centimeters in an adult. It is located at the cecum in the space between the large and small intestine. The appendix can be found on the lower right side of the body.
The appendix is a small, 2- to 4-inch pouch located near where the large and small intestines meet.

Not much is known about the human appendix because studies on the appendix are difficult to conduct. There are only a few animals that have the organ; an animal's appendix is very different than the human appendix.
