The Human Appendix

Today we learned a lot about the structures and functions of the human digestive system. Your Digestive System worksheet is due next Monday, April 30th. Also remember to work on your CST Final Study Guide. There are roughly 100 questions, so work on them a few each day. Don't wait until the last minute. That assignment is due on May 7th.

EXTRA LEARNING:
In class, I talked about the human appendix and how the most recent research gives evidence that it is not a vestigial organ like people in Darwin's time thought. Read about those recent findings in this article: "Evolution of the Human Appendix: A Biological 'Remnant' No More."
