Research Notes on Function of the Appendix
The biological purpose of the appendix has mystified scientists for some time. There have been cases of people who have been found, usually on laparoscopy or laparotomy, to have a congenital absence of an appendix. The most common explanation is that the appendix is a vestigial structure with no absolute purpose. The appendix is near the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine.
