2. Darwin’s Point (Top Skin Fold On Ear)
Darwin’s point, also known as Darwin’s tubercle, is a small fold of skin that forms on 10 percent of people’s upper ear. Its origins are unclear, however, research shows it may have been a joint that allowed the ear to swivel or flop down.
3. Body Hair
Hair on our head can insulate heat, eyebrows keep sweat out of our eyes, and male facial hair could play a role in sexual attraction, but what do we need body hair for?

4. Vomeronasal Organ
Vomeronasal organ, or Jacobson’s organ, is found on the olfactory system of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Described as chemoreceptors, this non-functioning specialized sensory system in the nose is used to detect chemicals, in the case of humans, pheromones.
5. Wisdom Teeth
Other than being extremely painful to remove, wisdom teeth serve no purpose with the exception of misaligning our jaw and impeding on dental hygiene. Today, around 35 percent of the population no longer develops their third and final set of molars.
6. Auricular Muscles
Anterior, posterior, and superior auricular muscles surround the outer ear and are used to swivel some animal’s ears towards the direction of sound, but serve no purpose with humans. Unless you find it funny when people can wiggle their ears.
7. Coccyx
Found at the very end of vertebral column, the coccyx is comprised of three to five vertebrae below the sacrum that are either separate or fused together. The coccyx, or tailbone, is a vertebrae leftover from when our distant ancestors were walking around with tails.
8. Erector Pili
Erector pili, or arrector pili muscles, are tiny muscles that are attached to our hair follicles via smooth muscle fibers. When these muscles contract they cause hair to stand on end, something we commonly refer to as goose bumps.
9. Appendix
While the appendix is found between the small intestine and large intestine it plays no role in digestion. Experts suggest it may have served a purpose when the human diet was mostly made up of plants. Now it only becomes inflamed and infected before finally rupturing when someone develops appendicitis.
10. Male Nipples
Why do men have nipples anyway? All human fetuses develop nipples even before our gender is determined. While it is rare, men are capable of lactating.

what are white blood cells
your white blood cells account for only about 1% of your blood, but their impact is big. White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They protect you against illness and disease.
Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells. In a sense, they are always at war. They flow through your bloodstream to fight viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders that threaten your health. When your body is in distress and a particular area is under attack, white blood cells rush in to help destroy the harmful substance and prevent illness.
White blood cells are made in the bone marrow. They are stored in your blood and lymph tissues. Because some white blood cells have a short life of 1 to 3 days, your bone marrow is always making them.
