Where does the human tissue removed during surgery go?

【Written at the end】

For most people, the most likely thing to face is the removal of the so-called "waste" organ, the appendix. After all, in everyone's eyes, it seems to be useless except for causing inflammation and excruciating pain. The appendix is ​​the remnant of the human cecum after degeneration. It is composed of dense lymph follicles and diffuse lymphatic tissue. Therefore, strictly speaking, it is also an immune organ of the human body like lymph, but because its immune function is relatively limited, it is indeed not very useful.

At present, medical waste can be divided into five categories, namely infectious waste (substances carrying pathogenic microorganisms and causing the spread of infectious diseases), pathological waste (human waste and animal carcasses of medical experiments), injury waste (discarded medical sharps that can stab or cut the human body), pharmaceutical waste (discarded medicines that are expired, obsolete, deteriorated or contaminated), and chemical waste (discarded chemicals that are toxic, corrosive, flammable and explosive). They will then be transported by transfer vehicles to medical waste centralized treatment centers that hold medical waste business licenses; after classification and treatment, they will be burned in a fire and returned to landfill.
