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.
In other words, if you divide your stomach in four regions, then appendix is located in the lower region on the right side. In human body, appendix falls on the Ileocecal junction, meaning the point where ileum, a part of small intestine meets the cecum from colon.
