Once an organ destined to be nothing more than a pest may actually have a place in everyday life. The appendix could be a great thing for those people that have ever experienced Gharida ... that's for sure.
This organ was once said by Charles Darwin that it is a left over organ used when our digestive systems needed it. However, he may not have come to this conclusion with the information provided in today's times. With information of other species having this organ and it's associated cecum organ being attached to it scientist have been able to discover more and more about this organ.
Some of it's basic functions would be to store or house "good bacteria" for when our body may need it .. hint at the Gharida statement ...lol... also to make, direct, and train white blood cells.
One last thing about this organ is that it has been said that about 1 out of 20 people you may know may have had this organ removed due to an illness known as appendicitis. Appendicitis is a potentially deadly inflammation of the appendix. With modern medicines however, scientists believe that if they could cure this illness that would also help out in the process of seeing far less cases of allergies and autoimmune disease.
