Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The large intestine consists of some microbiota which is the microorganism that helps in the chemical digestion of food. This microflora along with undigested food moves from the large intestine to rectum. These microorganisms are not harmful in large intestine or rectum’s environment but if moved to other body regions could be harmful to the body. The appendix is attached to cecum section of large intestine and in close contact with the rectum. Thus, the appendix may get affected by bacterial infection.
