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.
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 is located in the right iliac region?

What is the most useless organ?
Some individuals in the past believed what is quoted below "The appendix servers absolutely no purpose to humans and haven't done so in thousands of years. In fact, the appendix can easily kill you, but it can not help you in any way, ever!" New research is showing that the appendix can actually be a safe haven for beneficial bacteria that promotes healthy intestinal function. However, when the opening of the appendix into the cecum becomes blocked then a nasty appendicitis can occur.

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.
