Vestigial Organs. The organs which are present in reduced form and do not perform any function in the body but correspond to the fully developed functional organs of related animals are called vestigial organs. They are believed to be reminants of organs which were complete and functional in their ancestors, e.g., Vermiform appendix, causelal vertebrae in man.
