Appendix: The appendix is located right where the small intestines join the large intestines. The function of the appendix is unknown, but it can often become inflamed and can sometimes burst.

Stomach: The stomach is an important part of the digestive system. It is located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen. Food enters the stomach from the esophagus through the lower esophageal sphincter. It mixes with proteases (which breakdown protein) and hydrochloric acid. The stomach muscles thoroughly mix the food to help break it down. Food leaves the stomach through the pyloric sphincter into the intestines.
