Enlarged appendix measures 15" x 6.5" x 4" -- if yours was this big, you'd be in the emergency room. Comes with an 8-page booklet hangtag all about this vestigial organ. Some think the appendix, located at the bottom right of the intestine, doesn't do anything. Others think it helps good bacteria populate the gut. Most of us don't think about the appendix at all until it needs to get removed. Then we miss it terribly. Designed in California, made in China. Safe for ages 3 and up.
The International Museum of Surgical Science, a division of the International College of Surgeons (ICS), maintains over 10,000 square feet of public galleries committed to the history of surgery, and an exquisite permanent collection of art and artifacts from the history of Medicine. The Museum supports its Mission through medically themed exhibitions and programs, in addition to a strong contemporary art exhibition program.
