The human brain serves as the center of the nervous system. In other words, it exerts centralised control over the other organs in a body.
The heart pumps blood through the circulatory system’s blood vessels. The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body.
The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans. Their function is to extract oxygen from the air and transfer it into the bloodstream, and release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere.
The stomach is a part of the digestive system, and is involved in the gastric phase of digestion, after chewing.
The liver performs many vital biological functions such as detoxification and the synthesis of proteins and biochemicals necessary for digestion and growth.
The intestine is a long tube running from the stomach to the anus. Most absorption of nutrients and water happens here.
The kidneys receive blood from the paired renal arteries and control the volume of various body fluids.
The bladder stores urine from the kidneys before disposal through urination.
The thyroid is a small gland in the front of the neck, and produces hormones that control how the body uses energy.
The Larynx is that area of the throat, which contains the vocal cords and is used for breathing, swallowing, and talking. It is also referred to as the voice box.
The pancreas functions mostly to regulate blood sugar levels, and secrete the hormone insulin, among others.
