In adolescents, appendicitis is primarily related to immune function. After birth, lymphocytes start accumulating in the appendix and reach a peak between the ages of 20 and 30, then gradually decline and almost disappear after age 60. In the first stage, the appendix functions as a lymphocytes, which help adult B lymphocytes (a white blood cell) mature and help create IgA antibodies. In addition, the appendix is also involved in creating molecules that guide lymphocytes to many parts of the body.
In other words, it directs leukocytes to antigens or foreign substances in the gastrointestinal tract; Helps suppress the body's antibody antibody reaction that is devastating and promotes local immunity. The intestine acknowledges the antigens from food in the gut and reacts with them. So along with the Peyer stain, the appendix plays a local immune system that is vital for controlling food, drugs, bacteria or viruses.
Further research on the immune role of the appendix is still ongoing by scientists.
