Appendix and cecum are not the same thing. The second appendix is located at the lower right of the human abdomen, and the cecum is the beginning of the large intestine, and the lower end is the enlarged blind end, so it is called. Cecum, and appendix is a tiny curved blind tube between cecum and ileum. Appendicitis occurs when the cecum is inflamed, so many people will have appendectomy. The origin and function of appendix is actually a degraded digestive organ in the process of human evolution. Because it has been shrinking in the process of human evolution, it will gradually lose its function and cause inflammation of human appendix. However, the appendix is rich in lymphoid tissue, which can participate in human immune function, belongs to an immune organ, and also has secretory cells, which can secrete a variety of digestive enzymes and promote intestinal peristalsis and hormone secretion.

In fact, the appendix is a safe hiding place for probiotics in the human body. When diarrhea occurs in human body, probiotics in the intestine will be hidden in the appendix to help the human body digest and maintain the stability of the internal environment. But in recent years, the human immune system has lost its tolerance, so it will often attack microorganisms in the human body. This is the reason why more and more people get appendicitis. Appendix is a beneficial organ in human body, which can protect the balance of bacteria in human intestine, so there is no appendix. When appendicitis attacks, don't remove it easily.

The role of cecum The cecum is the thickest and shortest section of the large intestine in the human intestine, and it is the place where the large intestine begins. The lower end is a huge blind end. The left side is connected with the end of ileum. Moreover, the function of human cecum connected with ascending colon is mainly to contain digested food, and the residue absorbs water in it, eventually making it form feces, and the cause of cecum inflammation is constipation. Inflammation caused by fecal blockage. Appendicitis and appendicitis are very common surgical diseases, and the distance between them is very close, but cecum and appendix are both indispensable organs of human body.
