barrage A barrage is something that comes quickly and heavily â as an attack of bullets or artillery, or a fast spray of words. Sometimes in movies or news footage, the audience gets a glimpse from behind a mounted weapon and sees a heavy rain of bombs or bullets â called a barrage â going toward a target, sending as much POW! as possible to hit a wide area.
What is your appendix? Your appendix is a small tube about the same size as your little finger. It is attached to the beginning of your large intestine (the caecum - say: see-kem), near where the small and large intestines meet. One end opens into the large intestine but the other end is closed. It has a lining which passes fluid from the blood vessels into the middle of the appendix.
The second part of the large intestine we will talk about today is the vermiform appendix. The vermiform appendix is a narrow, hollow, and blind-ended four-inch tubular intraperitoneal structure. It arises from the posteromedial side of the cecum and it has large aggregations of lymphoid tissue in its walls.
