Your appendix and gallbladder would like a word with you ;^)

Both appendix and gallbladder are important. Check the diet for people with gallbladder resection.
I don't have a gallbladder. My diet is that I eat less fried foods and avoid certain dark syrups.
The gallbladder is not important for humans in the aggregate. The aorta, yes.
Also the intakes for trachea and esophagus being close to each other, causing chokes.
Wisdom teeth too.
I once read that wisdom teeth don't fit anymore only because we use forks and knives now. Previously we would tear our food with our teeth, always widening our pallet.
I couldn't find the source just now (in the 30 seconds I searched for it), but I always thought it was an interesting idea.
And tonsils!
Speaking of, I had my tonsils and adenoids removed as a child due to chronic ear infections.
What's up with those things?!
