The appendix is a worm-shaped tube attached to the large intestine in the human body. It is an organ that is credited with very little significance and often removed indiscriminately to avoid complications due to infection.
However, modern researchers believe that the appendix has many key functions in the human body and it protects the body’s internal environment from infection.
I was joking because the previous commentator made reference to the end of the book called an appendix. And I was calling that vestigial. Calling the end of the book vestigial was kind of funny to me because it’s obviously not true and doubly so because the appendix organ doesn’t appear to be so.
All of which is to say, apologies for making you suffering my sense of humours.
It’s vestigial.
