Appendix is hardest organ to find, but 45% also can't find their own rectum

Only 55 percent of men and women can confidently state where their rectum is located, and half don't know where their reproductive organs are. The statistics are revealed in a new poll commissioned by leaing private healthcare clinic Pall Mall Medical.

When asked which of the organs they could confidently locate in the body 45 percent did not know where the rectum is. Results revealed people living in the North East of England were the poorest at locating this area with just 42 percent knowing where the final portion of their large intestine is.

Londoners weren’t much wiser either, with barely half (49%) able to locate the organ. Contrastingly, people in the South West of England and Wales were the most clued up at finding this part with 64 percent confident they knew their way.
