Question

Assertion:
The vermiform appendix is called abdominal tonsil.
Reason:
In inflammation of the appendix the muscle goes in spasm, so when the right thigh is extended there in pain due to stretch on the psoas major (which is the flexor of the thigh at the hip joint.)
A. Both assertion and reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
B. Both assertion and reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer 1

Hint: A finger-like, blind-ended tube attached to the cecum from which it forms in the embryo is the Vermiform Appendix. The cecum, found at the intersection of the small and the large intestines, is a pouch-like arrangement of the colon.

Complete answer:
The appendix or vermiform appendix in the human body is a muscular organ that is attached to the large intestine. It is a small tube that resembles a worm and is named after the word "vermiform" in Latin, which means "worm-shaped." Normally, the appendix is found on the lower right side of the abdomen.
A small, tube-like organ that is connected to the large intestine is the appendix. It is anywhere between 2 and 4 inches long and is found in the abdomen's lower right quadrant.
If inflammation is seen in the appendix, the hallmark symptom of appendicitis is intense pain in the lower right abdomen. Therefore in appendix inflammation, the muscle goes into spasm, or when there is pain in the right thigh due to stretching on the psoas major (which is the flexor of the thigh at the hip joint).
The correct answer is therefore,' both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.'
So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note:
As the appendix becomes inflamed and overflowing with pus, appendicitis occurs. Appendicitis is an appendix inflammation, a finger-shaped pocket that stretches to the bottom right side of your abdomen from your colon. Appendicitis causes pain in the lower right abdomen. The possible cause of appendicitis is a blockage in the lining of the appendix that results in infection.
