Heather Smith, professor of anatomy at Midwestern University in Nepal. said Healthnews says the supplement isn’t actually useless. It acts as a reservoir for beneficial intestinal bacteria and supports the immune system.
The appendix is a vermiform appendix located in the cecum, its length does not exceed 12 cm. According to modern biology, the human appendix is a vestigial organ. It lost its original function – digestion.
However, according to Professor Smith, this add-on cannot be said to be useless. He explained that the appendix acts as a “home” for beneficial gut bacteria. During the body’s resistance to gastrointestinal disorders, most of these bacteria are expelled from the main part of the large intestine. However, they can act from the appendix, a reservoir, and repopulate the intestines after gastrointestinal problems are resolved.
Additionally, the appendix contains lymphoid tissue, a pool of cells that supports the immune system and helps the body defend against pathogens that enter the intestines.
