Frase de Leonardo Da Vinci

O apêndice serve e protege o ceco da ruptura por acúmulo excessivo de 'ventos supérfluos', pois possui a capacidade de dilatar e contrair.

Original: The appendix serves and protects the cecum from rupture by too great an accumulation of 'superfluous wind' because it has the ability to dilate and contract.
