APPENDIX

APPENDIX, or Appurtenance, a thing accessory to, or dependent on, another. See ACCESSORY. The Term is chiefly used in matters of Literature, for an additional Discourse, placed at the end of any Piece, or Writing; to explain or prosecute something there left deficient, or draw Conclusions therefrom. In this sense, the Word coincides with Supplement. See SUPPLEMENT.

Appendix, in Anatomy, is a part, in some measure, detached from another part to which it adheres. There are membranous Appendices of various Figures, in most of the inner parts of the Body. The Caecum is by some Writers called Appendix, or Appendicula Vermiformis. See CAECUM and INTESTINE. Appendix is particularly used in the same sense with Epiphysis. See EPIPHYSIS.
