currently they have no use, it is thought that in the cave days the appendix helped with digestion of grass.
The appendix.
One that does not serve a function within the body. For an example, the appendix.
Yes, both men and women have an appendix and can be prone to having an appendicitis.
The appendix is a small organ with no known essential function in humans that can become infected, a condition known as appendicitis. If not treated promptly, appendicitis can lead to serious complications, such as a burst appendix.
The appendix is considered a vestigial organ in the human alimentary canal. It is a small pouch connected to the beginning of the large intestine and is believed to have had a role in digestion in our evolutionary ancestors, but now serves no clear function in humans.
The appendix.
In humans the appendix is a vestigal organ and has no function that we are currently aware of.
The appendix, found at the junction of the small and large intestines, has no known function in digestion. The appendix may also be called the vermiform appendix.
yes No. In pigs, the cecum has a pouch that holds bacteria that aid in digestion. It is an active part of the digestive system. In humans, it has evolved into a vestigial appendix.

The appendix.
It has no digestive function, yes It is [wrongly] thought to be a vestigial structure. It has recently been brought to Light that the appendix is a storage facility for intestinal flora, that is needed to repopulate the Gut, after some bio-catastrophe depopulates the Gut.
The Appendix is a place an extra supply of them is stored. (Without an appendix, you would eventually get a new supply from other people you meet, but this probably took longer when there were fewer humans in the world.)
One that does not serve a function within the body. For an example, the appendix.
I think in humans the appendix is vestigial (does nothing much) but in most herbivores it is involved n the digeston of cellulose
Cats do not have appendix and humans do.
One example of a body structure that doesn't seem to have a function is the human appendix. This small, pouch-like organ located near the junction of the small and large intestines has historically been considered a vestigial structure with no clear purpose in modern humans. Other examples include remnants of the tailbone in humans and wisdom teeth, which are often considered vestigial structures that served a purpose in our ancestors but are less functional in present-day humans.
