Question

What is the function of the appendix of our digestive system?

Answer 1

The appendix is a tiny worm-like structure at the junction of the caecum and the small intestine. It is called 'vermiform appendix' which itself means that it has the form of a worm. The appendix is a mysterious structure in the human body. Biologists, after various research, have concluded that this structure has no specific function. Yes, there are structures in the human body without any function, another example being the 'tail' bone, or the last bone in the vertebral column. If there is any infection in the appendix, the structure is safely removed, and the person can lead a normal life. Some scientists also believe that this is just a remnant of evolution of the human body, and others have a theory that says that it stores "good" bacteria, and "reboots" the digestive system after a diarrhoea attack, though nothing has been proven. Hope you liked the answer. Please mark it as brainliest! Thanks!!
