Study/Make a research of the following organs:

Heart, Pancreas, Kidneys, Liver, Spleen, Intestine, Skin, Bladder

Heart
- Is the main organ in the circulatory system. Responsible for pumping blood to
deliver oxygen. It is made up of four chambers. The upper two chambers are
called Atria and the lower two are known as Ventricles.

Liver
- Regulates the chemical levels in the blood and it is responsible for excreting bile.
It helps to remove waste products from the liver. It is also responsible for the
pathway of the blood that is leaving from the intestines and stomach.

Pancreas
- Produces enzymes the helps break down fats, sugars, and starches. It also helps
our digestive system because it is responsible for creating hormones to become a
chemical messengers that can travel through our blood.
Skin
- Largest organ of the body. It helps to protect our body from microbes, and it also
helps regulate our body temperature. It can help us to feel to touch or react to cold
or heat.

Intestines
- There are two types of intestines, Small and large intestine. Large intestinehelps
our digestive system by absorbing water from our wastes,creating a stool. While
small intestine is responsible for absorving nutrients from what we eat or drink.

Bladder
- Stores urine, allowing our urination to be controlled. It can be stretched because
it is layers of muscle, thus it can hold our urine.

Spleen
- It is the filter for our blood. It is responsible for removing damaged red blood
cells. Healthy blood can pass thru the Spleen, while the damaged ones are broken
down by Macrophages. Macrophages are white blood cells that helps destroy
unhealthy blood cells.
