What is a structure that don't seem to have any function but may once function in an ancestor?
An appendix in humans is a structure that seems to have little function, but it may have been more important in our ancestors for digesting cellulose. Similarly, the tailbone (coccyx) in humans is a remnant of a tail that was functional in our primate ancestors for balance and mobility.
What is the function of a cow intestines?
The small intestine in a bovine operates the same way it does in humans or any other mammal: it absorbs nutrients from the digesta that is pushed through it. The small intestine, just like in humans, contains many microscopic villi that increase the surface area of the small intestine and increase the efficiency of nutrient absorption from the small intestine into the bloodstream.

What type of structure has no clear function in some modern species?

What is a appedix?
You may hear of the appendix as a rudimentary structure in humans, and in smaller animals the appendix may be known as the caecum. Basically, the appendix is a small piece of tissue that forms a tiny pouch in the large intestine, near the junction of the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. It has no real known function in humans and is thought to have had a function in more primitive stages of our evolution. The appendix is also susceptible to blockage, and due to continued secretion by the glands located in the walls of the appendix, this may result in appendicitis, which has the potential to be fatal if left untreated.
Are the digestive systems of a rabbit different from humans?
Yes, rabbits do have a different digestive system from humans. They are herbivores so they possess a much longer large intestine for digesting cellulose while humans being omnivores lack this feature.
