French term or phrase: appendices cœcales
[...] le foie qui se divise en deux lobes étroits, longs de dix pouces et embrassant dans leur chevron la masse des ***appendices cœcales***, qui sont très-nombreuses [...]

This is from an early 19th century text by Cuvier describing the inside of a lampris - can anyone help me with the term? Thanks
