Internal Part of

the body
The brain
The brain is the control
centre of the nervous
system and is located within
the skull. Its functions
include muscle control and
coordination, sensory
reception and integration,
speech production, memory
storage, and the elaboration
of thought and emotion.

The lungs
The lungs are two sponge-
like, cone-shaped structures
that fill most of the chest
cavity. Their essential
function is to provide oxygen
from inhaled air to the
bloodstream and to exhale
carbon dioxide.

The liver
The liver lies on the right side
of the abdominal cavity
beneath the diaphragm. Its
main function is to process
the contents of the blood to
ensure composition remains
the same. This process
involves breaking down fats,
producing urea, filtering
harmful substances and
maintaining a proper level
of glucosein the blood.

The bladder
The bladder is a muscular
organ located in the pelvic
cavity. It stretches to store
urine and contracts to
release urine.

The kidneys
The kidneys are two bean-
shaped organs located at the
back of the abdominal cavity,
one on each side of the
spinal column. Their function
is to maintain the bodys
chemical balance by
excreting waste products and
excess fluid in the form of
urine.

The heart
The heart is a hollow,
muscular organ that pumps
blood through the blood
vessels by repeated,
rhythmic contractions.

The stomach
The stomach is a muscular,
elastic, pear-shaped bag,
lying crosswise in the
abdominal cavity beneath
the diaphragm. Its main
purpose is digestion of food
through production of gastric
juices which break down, mix
and churn the food into a
thin liquid.

The intestines
The intestines are located
between the stomach and
the anus and are divided into
two major sections: the small
intestine and the large
intestine. The function of the
small intestine is to absorb
most ingested food. The
large intestine is responsible
for absorption of water and
excretion of solid waste
material.
