Name more parts of your body. throat
gallbladder
stomach
liver
heart
lung
trachea
large intestine
Fill in the blanks with the names of body
parts .
Think of the body like a school. At the top
of the school is the headmaster, known as
the _____. This is the organ that controls
the rest of the organs, just like the
headmaster controls the school. After this
comes the _____.
brain
heart
It is like a teacher. This organ passes the
blood around the body so it can run well.
This is similar to the knowledge a teacher
gives to students. Next is the _____, which
is the student. This organ is the only one
that can re-grow itself. It helps to clean
the blood. This is like knowledge students
get from teachers. Students always grow
with newly found knowledge.
liver
The _____are the organs of the body that use the oxygen we breathe. Think of the oxygen as the life you lead at school. The _______ is very useful as it stores the food we eat until we can digest it properly. This is similar to the learning process. We store the information until we need to use it. So this organ is like a notebook. The ______are the organs that
lungs
stomach
kidneys
remove waste products from the blood
and produce urine. They are like the
cleaners, repairmen and security guards
who look after your school. The last
major organ is the bladder. This is the
organ that removes our waste. Not all
the information you get at school is
kept. The undesirable elements are
removed.
Now you can see how similar your
school life is to your body and you can
look after them both.
