..that is, appendix vermiformis - vermiform appendix , that 'umpilisäke' that you remove with an appendectomy. Often referred to as 'umpisuoli' though (especially in speech), in Finnish (which would be 'caecum' to be precise).
Note from asker:
Thank you, Susan. Had a hunch. Wanted confirmation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Outi Pollari : In other context "umppari" may mean also "umpisolmu" - a stopper or overhand knot

Kiitos. And yes indeed, I'll add that to the vocabulary entry, too. A very good point - didn't even occur to me when just read 'medical'.
