Is the appendix used to digest tree bark?
No, not even close. The vermiform appendix, in animals that have one, is most likely a storage spot for the "good" bacteria that help you digest food. The idea is that, if you get bad diarrhoea (the 'runs') and your "good" bacteria are flushed out of the body, then the appendix will release its stored bacteria, allowing your gut to start digesting food, again.
What organ system does the colon and appendix belong to?
Both the colon and the attached appendix are part of the digestive system. But the appendix has other functions that are not part of that system. It is thought by some that it may be involved in the immune system. Researchers in the United States say the appendix produces and protects good germs for the gut by "rebooting" the digestive system. The team of immunologists at Duke University Medical Center say the human digestive system contains massive amounts of bacteria most of which are good and help the digestion of food.
What organ is located in the right iliac region?
start a line at a point about an inch (25mm) in from the nipple towards the centre of the body, then draw directly down until you are level with the widest part of the hip. every thing to the left of that line is in the left iliac. this includes most of the stomach, portions of small intestine, the distal portion of the descending colon, and usually the sigmoid colon.
What body parts of human being that has no function at all?
The brain in many cases . . . Most likely, every body part has a use. That we haven't discovered its use doesn't mean that it is useless. One example is the vermiform appendix in the large intestine. Doctors historically slice them out and joyously toss them in the trash, because 'What use are they, anyway?' Turns out that they recently found out that the appendix serves to hold several types of good bacteria. If a person gets a bad case of long-lasting diarrhoea, then the good bacteria may be completely washed out of the intestines. Enter the appendix, which dumps its little load of good bacteria into the gut, thus renewing the healthful bacteria population there, and helping to keep its owner alive.
What causes the appendix to rupture and what are the associated risk factors?
The appendix can rupture due to a blockage, leading to inflammation and increased pressure. Risk factors include a history of appendicitis, age (most common in teens and young adults), and a family history of the condition.

What are the purposes of appendices?
There are two types of appendices. One is the appendix found in a human body and the other is the appendix found at the end of a book. The appendix in the human body is widely accepted as a seemingly useless organ. Scientists have yet to find an explicit purpose for the appendix. Today most scientists believe it produces and stores bacteria that is useful to your body. The appendix found at the end of a document often serves as an addition to the text. This addition has information that is relevant to the text but not focused on the topic of the text.
