Top 10 “Useless” Organs

Top 10 “Useless” Organs

                                               

1. Male Nipples

Have you ever imagined that you could be living with “unnecessary” body parts? Might sound interesting or weird, but it is quite true that some of the organs that we have are of no use. This list showcases the top 10 organs that humans don’t need. In short, these are g=organs that one can live without!

This one sure tops the list. Other than just for some “adornment,” what purpose do male nipples really serve? None.

2. Appendix

Man has come a long way. From ages past, the appendix was a very useful organ, especially for our digestion. However, after man discovered fire and learned to cook, of what use is an appendix if our food can now be digested easily?

3. Wisdom Teeth

These are teeth that we surely don’t need. All we have now is just pain for the “wisdom teeth” – maybe they served a good purpose in olden times when we were still cave men. Now, the dentist doesn’t think so.

4. Erector Pili

The Erector Pili is the mechanism that creates goose bumps when we are scared. I think it serves no purpose if its only use is to show everyone that you are scared!

5. Coccyx

Do we really need this? No. Not at all. If you didn’t know, at the end of your spine is tailbone of vertebrae that in some way shows that we used to have tails, for lack of a better explanation. Also known as the Coccyx, this is an organ that we can do without.

6. Tonsils

Very few people go beyond 30 years of age with tonsils in them. So prone to infection, and consequent swelling, many people have had operations to remove these otherwise useless organs, and they live on. So why have them in the first place.

7. Adenoids

Although they are useful in “trapping” bacteria, adenoids are shed off together with tonsils. Otherwise, they just disappear unnoticed as we grow up.

8. Sinuses

Apart from theories that they affect our sight or the tone of voices, sinuses are organs that we can do away with, especially when they give the doctor so much trouble to figure out stuff.

9. Body Hair

What is body hair for if man has over time developed “air conditioning system” in sweating? Just as well that we are less hairy than some ages ago!

10. Plica Semilunaris

Science has revealed this to us as the third eyelid. It is a small membrane near our tear duct that we don’t even use, unlike chickens, lizards and other animals. So, this is something that we don’t need at all!
