Some vestigial structures in human beings are:
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
Vestigal organ
A vestigial structure is a physical characteristic of an organism that has lost its original function through the process of evolution. These structures are remnants of traits that were once useful to the organism's ancestors but are no longer needed in their present form. Examples include the human appendix and the wings of flightless birds.
The human tailbone, also known as the coccyx, is an example of a vestigial structure. It is a remnant of our evolutionary past when our distant ancestors had tails. Today, the coccyx serves no functional purpose in humans but is a small bone at the end of the spine.
One example is how the shape of a red blood cell, with its biconcave disc structure, allows for efficient gas exchange due to its large surface area-to-volume ratio. This structure enables the red blood cell to carry oxygen throughout the body effectively.
Whales and some other cetaceans have unusable leg bones as a vestigal structure.
vestigal
yes, they have 2 pairs, one is a vestigal structure, the other is used for sensory functions :)
vestigial structure-such as the human appendix, doesn't seem to have a function and may once have functioned in the body of an ancestor..:)
Vestigial structures are anatomical structures of organisms in a species which are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.
An example of a homologous structure that is greatly reduced in size is the pelvic bone in whales. These bones are remnants of hind limbs found in their land-dwelling ancestors, which have evolved to be much smaller and non-functional in whales due to their adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle.
DSB
short
its a structure dude, for example there is no example and you have to find that example out to know the example. did you get it yo
The vestigal feature of a kiwi is it's wings.

In humans the appendix is a vestigal organ and has no function that we are currently aware of.
