Major organs of the human body (Middle School)

An organ is a group of two or more tissue that works together to complete a common function.
Your body has around 78 organs.
In this video, I will cover several major organs.

The brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep

The heart is a very strong muscle made of cardiac muscle that helps pump your blood throughout your body.

The kidneys are very important because they filter your blood and produce urine.

The spleen filters blood and acts like disease detectives. It also produces antibodies and lymphocytes which fight germs.

The Small and Large intestines are a major site of digestion. The small intestine is responsible for 90 percent of digestion. At the same time, the large intestines absorb salts, mineral, and vitamins.

The Liver Is a large organ with over 200 functions. It produces bile which helps with digestion, stores glycogen, and filters your blood to eliminate harmful bacteria and damaged cells.

The gallbladder stores the bile produced by the liver

Your stomach Is a site of digestion of the food we eat. After chewing our food it travels down the esophagus to the stomach.

The pancreas helps to regulate the blood sugar level of your body.

The skin protects us from disease,removes waste, and helps control our temperature.


Finally, the Lungs are responsible for exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide
