Technically speaking, it is called the vermiform appendix.  Vermi refers to worm and if you look at an appendix, you will see that it looks quite a bit like a worm.

Lymph nodes, also incorrectly called "Lymph glands" (they do not secrete anything and are therefore not glands), are components of the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes act as filters, with an internal honeycomb of connective tissue filled with lymphocytes that collect and destroy bacteria and viruses. When the body is fighting an infection, these lymphocytes multiply rapidly and produce a characteristic swelling of the lymph nodes. Humans have approximately 500-600 lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarms, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen

Just go to yahoo and type:\nlipids lumen intestine\n\nhttp://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/smallgut/absorb_lipids.html\n\n"recently, a specific transport protein has been identified that ferries cholesterol from the intestinal lumen into the enterocyte. From there, cholesterol is incorporated into chylomicrons and shuttled into blood by the mechanisms described above."

Actually, the appendix, like the tonsils, has been observed to have a function.\n\nThe appendix serves as a "storage area" for the endosymbiotic bacteria--it's sort of a maintenance culture area, so that when the colonic flora get wiped out by something mechanical, the colon can be rapidly recolonized from the "stored" bacteria.\n\nTonsils are mainly just highly visible, comparatively large lymph nodes.  You can get by without them, just like you can get by without your appendix, half your liver, your gall bladder, one of your kidneys, etc, but that isn't actually proof that they're vestigial.\n\nThey used to think the pineal was vestigial, too; turns out to be an important neuroendocrine modulator..\n\nThe more we learn, I guess, the more we find what we once thought to be useless was just useful in a more subtle way...

Some people have little pouches hanging off their colons; this outpounching is called a diverticulum.  A diverticulum resembles the appendix in many ways.  Since a diverticulum is a pouch with a single openening, and there is not a constant flow through it, some fecal matter may get caught in it.  This can lead to infection and inflammation.  This inflammation is call diverticulutis.\n\nA particular concern about diverticulitis is that the diverticulum has a narrow wall, which can perforate easily, leaking contents into the rest of the abdomen.  The diverticulum can also develop a connection to another organ and cause all sorts of problems.\n\nThis will only occur with sever inflammation, and when the inflammation is this bad, the only treatment is surgery.

To make sure the gut has as much surface area as possible for the absorption of nutrients, it is:\n- very long,\n- its internal surface is folded, &\n- the internal surface is covered in finger-like projections called villi. On its own, one of these projections is called a villus.

the ileum is part of the intestine it is the final section of the small intestine before reaching the ceum and following the jejenum and the duodenum\n\nthe primary function of the ileum is to absorb vitamin b12 and bile salts apssed down via the digestive tract.\n\nthe ileum contains the enzymes protease and carbohydrase, \nso we can deduce that it absorbs protien and carbohydrate the ph is usuallt about 5-7. it also absobs fatty acids and glycerol\n\naddtional information: the ileum is covered in millions of villi, finger like projection that increase the surface area and aid the absorption process. \n\nalso the nutrients (sugars and amino acids) absorbed by the ileum are transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein.\n\nAND it has aresa of lymphoid tissue which are part of the immune sysytem.\n\ni nevr said that the ileum produced these enzymes merely that they were present in the ileum, but nice one for pointing this out, it might have sounded confusing. these enzymes are present in the cytoplasm of the columnar epitheliel cells that line the gut (these are the ones with loads of villi on them)\n\nall hai the ileum
