Human organs and their function
What are the human organs and their function?
BLADDER -A hollow muscular organ that stores urine before expelling it from the body.
BONES - The bones provide 5 functions. They protect other vital organs, i.e. ribs protect the lungs. Support the body in an upright position. They are attached to muscles to help provide movement of the body. Bone marrow produces blood. Store salts inside provides a mineral reservoir for the body.
BRAIN -The brain is the master control center of the body. It receives information through the senses from inside and outside of the body. It analyzes this information then sends messages to the body that controls its functions and actions. The brain remembers past experiences, is the source of thought, moods, and emotions.
EARS - The ear converts sound which enters the ear canal, from mechanical vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets. The ear also contains a fluid that is vital for balance.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM -The endocrine system is a collection of glands that secrete chemical messages called hormones. The hormones pass through the blood to the target organ resulting in a chemical change in the body.
EPITHELAIL TISSUE -Membranous tissue composed of one or more layers of cells forming the covering of most internal and external surfaces of the body and its organs.
EYES -The eyes collect light and then sends a message to the brain for integration.
GALL BLADDER -A small, pear-shaped muscular sac, located under the right lobe of the liver, in which bile secreted by the liver is stored until needed by the body for digestion.
HEART -The chambered muscular organ that pumps blood received from the veins into the arteries, thereby maintaining the flow of blood through the entire circulatory system to supply oxygen to the body.
KIDNEYS -A pair of organsfunctioning to maintain proper water and electrolyte balance, regulate acid-base concentration, and filter the blood of metabolic wastes, which are then excreted as urine.
