Your body contains several organs, each playing its part. Which organ’s role aligns with your personality? Find out now.
The five vital organs in the human body are the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver. A problem with any of these organs can quickly become life threatening. Other organs include the gallbladder, pancreas, and stomach. Organ systems, such as the nervous system, support these organs.
The brain is the body’s control centre. It forms the core of the central nervous system by creating, sending, and processing nerve impulses, thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and more.
The heart is the most important organ of the circulatory system, which helps deliver blood to the body. It has four chambers. The two upper chambers are called atria, and the two lower chambers are called ventricles.
The lungs work with the heart to oxygenate blood. They do this by extracting oxygen from inhaled air and exhaling carbon dioxide released from the tissues.
The liver is the most important organ of the metabolic system, but it also plays a role in almost every other organ system. It helps convert nutrients into usable substances and filters blood coming from the digestive tract through a vein before it joins venous blood flow from other parts of the body. Oxygenated blood reaches the liver via an artery.
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located on either side of the back, protected inside of the lower part of the rib cage. They help filter blood and remove waste from the body.
The stomach is located in the upper part of the abdomen. The digestive organs in the abdomen work together to absorb nutrients and move food through the digestion process. They include the stomach, gallbladder, liver, pancreas, intestines, and urinary system.
Now that you have read all about the organs of the body, take this for-fun-only quiz to see which one aligns with your personality.
Get ready to explore the invisible world around us. Can you find all the gases in the wordsearch?
The Earth’s atmosphere is a protective blanket of gases that surrounds our planet, making life possible. It consists of different layers, namely the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. From the breathable air in the troposphere to the ozone-rich stratosphere, these layers play a vital role in shielding us from harmful radiation, regulating temperature, and supporting life.
The atmosphere holds moisture, gases, and tiny particles. Nitrogen and oxygen are the most abundant gases, making up the air we breathe, while carbon dioxide and water vapour help regulate our climate. Trace gases like ozone protect us from the Sun’s harmful rays.
This grid contains the names of some of the vital gases in the atmosphere. Can you spot them all?
