Pablonius Monk 🇺🇦<p>Your appendix is not, in fact, useless.

WideEyedCurious 🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇦<p>It turns out that the appendix appears to have two related functions.</p><p>The first function is supporting the immune system. The appendix has a high concentration of immune tissue, so it's acting to help the immune system fight any bad things in the gut.</p><p>The second function that it serves is what we refer to as a safe reservoir for the beneficial gut bacteria that we have. <br><a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/02/02/1228474984/appendix-function-appendicitis-gut-health" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">npr.org/sections/health-shots/</span><span class="invisible">2024/02/02/1228474984/appendix-function-appendicitis-gut-health</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>health</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/appendix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>appendix</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>biology</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
