What did Mother Nature give us these for? | I don't care that the debate is over now, poke me in the eye if you dare! And devils advocate or not I have to step i one again with the science - it's in my blood!
Nipples - Men have nipples because all embryos/foetuses essentially develop as females until the male genes kick in and start producing male hormones.
Sinuses - just because we don't understand why doesn't mean no function is there: These include the functions of warming/humidification of air, assisting in regulation of intranasal pressure and serum gas pressures (and subsequently minute ventilation), contributing to immune defense, increasing mucosal surface area, lightening the skull, giving resonance to the voice, absorbing shock, and contributing to facial growth.
Adenoids - involved in antibody production (that's the immune system)
Tonsils - ditto.
Coccyx - yes a part of the spine that used to be a tail before evolution found us no longer swinging in trees. The coccyx provides an attachment for nine muscles, such as the gluteus maximus, and those necessary for defecation. It also acts as something of a shock absorber when a person sits down, although forceful impact can cause damage and subsequent bodily pains. The remnant of a vestigial tail in humans, in many other species the coccygeal vertebrae support a full tail and accommodate its nerves.
Wisdom teeth - I use mine to eat, don't you?
Appendix - has a function in the immune system
I think I've said enough. Do not question the function of the body parts! |

I think I've said enough. Do not question the function of the body parts! | What is absolutely amazing is that a human can function without some of these body parts. I have no tonsils nor wisdom teeth. I am very healthy and I eat perfectly fine with the teeth I have.
My OH doesn't have an appendix, wisdom teeth, tonsils or foreskin....and he's perfectly fine. |

I think I've said enough. Do not question the function of the body parts! | I don't have Tonsils, Adenoids, Wisdom teeth or an Appendix... my nipples aren't much use... yep there pretty useless and obviously aren't needed... along with my foreskin (which I do have but wouldn't bother me if I didn't). I can question parts of my (or my sons, if I had one) body all I like thank you very much!
'Science' or not, that is no reason to be belligerent towards others views. |
