look at them in more detail.
It is a bit like your body’s own control centre.
It sends messages to the rest of your body.
Your brain needs oxygen from blood to work properly. Nearly 2,000 liters of blood
flow through the brain every day!
Your body needs oxygen to stay alive. When you
breathe in, oxygen enters
your lungs.
Here, the oxygen goes into your
bloods.
Your heart is like a pump but it is really a muscle. It's located a little to the left of the
middle of your chest.
The heart sends blood around your body. The
blood provides your body with the oxygen
and nutrients.
When you eat food passes into your stomach and
stays there for two-and-a-half to three hours.
Your stomach muscles squash the food until it is a creamy pulp.
Your stomach produces juices to
break down the food and kill germs you
may have swallowed.
Your small intestine is a narrow tube that is about 6 or 7 metres
long. When food leaves your stomach it comes here so that nutrients can
be absorbed back into the body.
Water and food that cannot be digested pass into your large intestine
and come out of your body as waste.
Your skin covers and protects everything inside your
body. Skin is always renewing itself . Every minute of the day we lose about 30,000 dead skin cells and get new skin cells.
There are many others, too many for us to look at now.
Let’s just look at a couple more that are important.
The kidneys are every bit as important as the
heart. You need at least one kidney to live!
Kidneys is to filter the waste out of the blood. The waste that is
collected combines with water to make urine.
The bladder
The bladder is a bag that collects the urine that leaves the kidneys.
It sends message to
your brain and you go to the
toilet.
