Do you need your appendix?
The most obvious answer is no; millions of people have had their appendix removed without ill effects. Darwin suggested that the appendix is a leftover from when our ancestors used to digest leaves. Recently, it's been suggested that the appendix is used to keep bacteria that keep the colon in good order, however it doesn't seem to cause a problem to have it removed. Given that it's seems largely useless and a burst appendix used to be a fatal disorder, one might ask why it's survived at all. One theory is that a smaller appendix is more prone to bursting so it's reached a sort of happy medium value.
What do you use your appendix for?
The function of the appendix is not known for certain. It has been speculated that they function as an alarm for the immune system. The appendix will hold samples of all of the bacteria present in the large intestine. The body can then detect them and react accordingly. This is similar to how the tonsils are thought to help the immune system by sampling things we swallow to alert the immune system of what we just ingested.
What is the function of a appendix?
There is no longer a function for our appendix in modern society, it is left over from our prehistoric predecessors. Some times it can collect food and bacteria, causing its self to rupture, since it no longer can function at respelling its own contents
What is the main function of the appendix?
In college text books they do not acknowledge that the appendix has any valuable function. However lets think about it because these are the facts: The appendix stores seeds that you eat and it is part of the digestive tract to absorb nutrients and fluid. Seeds are loaded with nutritional value. They take longer to absorb. If you give your appendix nutrient rich seeds you will have a healthy appendix. If you do something like eat a lot of cooked black pepper this will irritate your appendix cause inflammation and possibly a bursted appendix. This is because of the chemical change with cooked black pepper as a seed that occurs after cooking not in it's raw state.

Does not having your appendix make you die at a younger age?
I do not think there has been any scientific study done on the effects of a life span after losing an appendix. Though they have done studies showing that your appendix is no longer needed, so getting it removed has no bad side effects. The only way you not having your appendix affecting your life would be if it bursts and u don't get it taken care of. A ruptured appendix can kill you if not taken care of usually rather immediate. So as of right now not having an appendix will neither kill you quicker or prolong your life. you die when it is your time and by w/e means it happens. Not having an appendix or having one wouldn't really matter if u get hit by a car tomorrow. So rest assured that you will live as long as u will live with or without your appendix.
