00:00 Why do I need an appendix?
00:02 Many people treat the appendix as an organ without special functions.
00:07 And this is very stupid.
00:09 In the last century, the appendix was removed indiscriminately in childhood.
00:16 And then suddenly they noticed that children without an appendix lag behind in development
00:22 and get sick more often.
00:24 It turned out that the appendix stores and reproduces bacteria.
00:29 That are necessary for the normal functioning of the intestine.
00:33 And the appendix is also part of our immune system and takes part in the body's protective
00:39 reactions.
