Human Body Guide: Systems & Sensory Organs

🧬 What Are Organs?

Organs perform specific functions necessary for survival. Each organ is made up of tissues, and multiple organs work together to form systems and keep us alive.

🧩 Example:

  • 🫀 Heart → Pumps blood around your body. Without it, oxygen can’t reach your organs.
  • 🫁 Lungs → Help you breathe and get oxygen.
  • 🧠 Brain → Controls thinking, movement, and body systems.
  • 🍽️ Stomach → Breaks down food so your body can get energy.

 

❤️ Major Organs in the Body and Their Functions

There are more than 70 organs in the human body, but some are considered vital because we cannot live without them.
