-
Liver: Largest organ with three lobes; produces bile, breaks down fats and fibers.
-
Heart: Contains three chambers (left atrium, right atrium, and ventricle); responsible for pumping blood.
-
Gall bladder: Located on the underside of the liver; stores bile for digestion.
-
Esophagus: A tube connecting the mouth to the stomach; transports food to the stomach.
-
Stomach: Curved sac enabling chemical digestion of food.
-
Small intestine: Composed of two parts; primary site for nutrient absorption.
-
Duodenum: First section of the small intestine, crucial for digestion.
-
Trachea: Tube that transports air from the mouth to the lungs.
-
Lungs: Spongy organs responsible for gas exchange, facilitating respiration.
-
Pancreas: Gland that secretes digestive juices, aiding in the breakdown of food.
-
Spleen: Small round organ that stores blood and helps in immune response.
-
Kidney: Paired, bean-shaped organs that filter waste from the blood.
