YOUR AMAZING BODY
The body is full of wonderfully designed organs. Here we look at body parts individually in detail.
Brain The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It is the control centre of life. It not only affects and governs everything you do, how you think, feel and act, but what kind of person you are.
Blood Blood, the sticky red fluid three times thicker than water, is the body's transport system, circulating continuously throughout its intricate network of veins, arteries and capillaries. One small drop contains 250 million cells.
Eye The eyes are our most highly developed sense organs. By transmitting light wave images to the brain, they feed in most of the unending stream of information from around us - more than any of the other four senses.
Heart Your heart is an amazing organ. It never rests for more than a second. It is astonishingly efficient. Its few moving parts are almost indestructible. It is far more durable than any man made pump.
Kidneys Your two kidneys - the renal organs - are the master chemists of the body. They monitor the quality of the blood, separating out harmful substances from beneficial ones, acting not only as waste disposal units but also like sophisticated sieves that retrieve useful substances that slip through the holes. The kidneys maintain the internal environment essential for life - whatever the diet or the climate.
Liver The liver, smooth, cone-shaped, red-brown and rubbery, is situated in the upper right part of the abdomen where it is partly protected by the rib cage. It is your largest and heaviest internal organ, weighing around 3.5 lb.(1.6 kilos).
Pancreas The pancreas, is a gland in the abdomen that produces enzymes and hormones.
Skin Of all the body's wonderfully designed organs, the skin is supreme in versatility.
Stomach The stomach is one of our least mysterious organs: everyone thinks they know what it does. But did you realise how intricately designed and complicated it is?
Thyroid Though it weighs barely 28.5 grams (an ounce), the thyroid gland, which is located just below the Adam's Apple in the neck has an amazing and far-reaching influence on our health. |
