Q1 Specie is many; and each species is named separately; if so what is meant by only one human species?; if there is another similar one, it would have had another bane, other than human. Q3 It could be a fun question but not the truth, since doctors know more than the nurses. Q7 We can learn this also in 10 seconds: https://youtu.be/SxIp8Jad_qk
Q11 Who said the tail and the appendices?. Appendicitis is a relatively uncommon, but potentially serious, cause of abdominal pain in the primary care setting. An accurate diagnosis is important to prevent unnecessary surgery and avoid complications. The probability of appendicitis depends on patient age, setting, and symptoms. A retrospective study, including three family practice centers, identified 556 adults with abdominal pain, of whom six (1.1 percent) were diagnosed with appendicitis. Studies of children with abdominal pain, largely in the emergency department setting, found that 10 to 25 percent of patients had appendicitis. In studies of patients with abdominal pain who underwent computed tomography and ultrasonography, 31 percent of children and 40 percent of adults had appendicitis.The percentage of patients with appendicitis ranges from 60 to 90 percent in patients who undergo surgery. Perforation rates range from 4 to 28 percent. *Anatomy* The appendix is an intraperitoneal hollow outpouching of the gut which arises from the *caecum*. It is suspended, by the mesoappendix, from the terminal portion of the ileum and commonly sits *retrocaecally*. The appendix is *thought to act as a reservoir for intestinal flora which allows the gut to* replenish its microbiome after gastroenteritis, but there are usually no long-term consequences to removing it. Although the exact pathophysiology is unknown, the typical cause of inflammation is *obstruction of the opening* of the appendix, as a result of either a fecalith (hardened stool) or lymphoid hyperplasia. Appendicitis most commonly presents in the* second decade of life* and there is a slight predominance in males versus females (M:F 1.4:1). Children breastfed for less than six months and those exposed to tobacco smoke are at an increased risk of appendicitis.
