The document describes the key functions of several major human organ systems, including:
- The trachea connects the throat to the lungs and transports air.
- The heart pumps blood through the body to keep people alive. It is located in the middle of the chest and is about the size of a fist.
- The lungs remove oxygen from air and pass it into the blood through respiration.
- The liver produces bile which helps break down fat and filters blood from the stomach and intestines.
- The kidneys filter waste from the blood and are located below the rib cage.

• It’s a muscle, about the size of
your fist, in the middle of your chest tilted slightly to the left. System of Lungs
• The respiratory system is the
network of organs and tissues that help you breathe.
• Two organs that remove oxygen
from the air and pass it into your blood. System of Liver • All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver.
• The liver is an accessory
digestive organ that produces bile, an alkaline fluid containing cholesterol and bile acids, which helps the breakdown of fat. System of Stomach • A muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen
• The stomach secretes acid
and enzymes that digest food. System of Kidney
• two bean-shaped organs, each
about the size of a fist.
• They are located just below the rib
cage, one on each side of your spine. System of Spleen
• an organ found in all
vertebrates
• Similar in structure to a large
lymph node, it acts primarily as a blood filter. System of Small intestine • An organ in the gastrointestinal tract where most of the absorption of nutrients from food takes place.
• It lies between the stomach and
large intestine, and receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct to aid in digestion. System of Large intestine
• The last part of the gastrointestinal
tract and of the digestive system in vertebrates
• Water is absorbed here and the
remaining waste material is stored in the rectum as feces before being removed by defecation. System of Rectum
• a chamber that begins at the end of
the large intestine, immediately following the sigmoid colon, and ends at the anus
• The rectum is the lower part of the
large intestine that connects to the sigmoid colon. It is about 15 cm (6 in) long
