The Ear
The ear is the anatomical organ
that detects sound. It not only
acts as a receiver for sound, but
also plays a major role in the
sense of balance and body
position. The ear is part of the
auditory system.
The Brain
The brain is a part of the body that allows
us to make sense of the world around us
and to change our behavior to respond to
it. Our brain is the control center of the
whole body. It receives messages from all
parts of our body and sends out
necessary commands to control the
body's actions. The brain is made up of a
special type of cells. They are connected
with each other and with the nerves in
our body. The delicate brain is protected
on the outside by strong skull bones.
The Eyes
The eye is an organ for sensing light.
About 97 percent of the animals
known have eyes. Image-resolving
eyes are present
in cnidaria, molluscs, chordates,anneli
ds and arthropods. The eyes found in
different animals are different from
each other. Some are simpler, others
are more complex. Today, ten
different kinds of eyes are known.
The Tooth
A tooth is one of the hard, white
things in our mouth. Teeth (plural)
are used to chew
food. Chew means to break up and
crush food so it can be swallowed
(pushed down into your stomach).
Some animals also use teeth as a
weapon.
The Tongue
The tongue is the
fleshy muscle inside the mouth. A
tongue lets us taste because the
top of the tongue is made mostly
of tastebuds. It is very flexible, so it
also helps us eat and talk.
The Nose
A nose is a body part which allows
animals to smell things. The nose also
helps animals breathe. It has parts
that make it work and send messages
to the brain. The nose's parts include
smell receptors and nerve connectors
to receptors. In humans, the nose is
on the front of the face. The power of
the nose varies for animals. For
example, dogs have a stronger sense
of smell than humans.
The Lungs
The lung is an organ in
many vertebrates (animals
having a spine, or backbone).
It gives blood oxygen from
the air, and takes away carbon
dioxide. Most vertebrates have
2 lungs.
The Liver
The liver is an organ in
the abdomen. It is part of
the gastrointestinal system.
Sometimes people use hepato- as
a prefix when they talk about the
liver. For example if people talk
about liver cells, they
say hepatocellular. Another word
for liver cell is hepatocyte (-cyte
means cell.)
The Heart
The heart is a muscle found in
every animal that has a
backbone. It is a very strong
muscle that is about the size of
a fist. It pumps blood through
tubes called blood vessels. It
has regular contractions, or
when the heart squeezes the
blood out into other parts of
the body.
The Kidney
Kidneys are two organs in
the abdomen of vertebrates that are
shaped like beans. They
make urine (the yellow waste water
that comes out of the urethra.) They
are part of the urinary system. When
medical professionals discuss the
kidneys, they typically refer to the
word renal. For example, renal
failure is when the kidneys are sick
and do not work.
The Stomach
The stomach is part of the digestive
system. It is a big sack between
the esophagus and the small
intestines. The stomach is the
second stage in the digestive
process. It holds food after ingestion.
Food in the stomach then passes
through to the small intestine where
most of the food's nutrition is
absorbed.
The Skin
Skin is the outside covering of
animals including humans. The
skin of human beings usually has
very small hairs on it that are
hard to see. Some people have
more hair, or hair that is easier to
see, and some have less. People
have hair that is longer and
easier to see on some parts of
their bodies, such as the tops of
their heads and men's beards.
The Nail
A fingernail is a hard part of
the body at the tip of the fingers, of
which most people have ten. Toenails
are also similar, except that they grow
four times slower and are on the toes.
Only mammals have fingernails.
Like hair, fingernails never stop
growing. They must be cut from time
to time. The nails are made up of
a protein called keratin. Hair
and skin also have keratin.
The Hair
Hair is something that grows
from the skin of mammals. The
hair of non-human animals is
usually
called fur. Sheep and goats hav
e curly hair, which is usually
called wool. Hair is made
of keratin. Keratins are proteins,
long chains of amino acids.
