Introduction
The Appendix can be seen as a needed organ as it has enzyme release areas and digestive acids.
Discussion
The argument of the appendix as an unneeded organ is based on its inflammation sometimes. Sadly the heart has frequent failure or inflammation and does not need to be removed. We have no reason to believe it is vestigial or used more in extinct species.
Conclusion
We show the appendix has enzyme release and digestive enzyme function. The Appendix does not need to be seen as vestigial organs. We can see the appendix as a misunderstood organ.
Conflict of Interest
None.
Acknowledgment
