Organs
Your heart and lungs aren't just
located near each other - they are
partners working to make sure
your entire body gets the oxygen it
needs. The right side of your heart
Lungs
receives blood from the body and
and
pumps it to the lungs. The lungs
Heart
fill the blood with oxygen and then
send it back to the heart. The left
side of the heart receives this
oxygen-rich blood from the lungs
and pumps it out to the body.
The stomach squeeze, churn, and
twist the food while the intestines
absorb the water and nutrients.
Stomach and intestines work
together in a process of digesting
Intestine
the food, Stomach grinded the
and
food into pieces and retains food
Stomach
and fluids that has been
swallowed, combines it with the
digestive juice it creates and the
nutrients that has been taken or
collected will go to small intestine.
 A Brain–Kidney Connection: The
Delicate Interplay of Brain and
Kidney Physiology. The central
nervous system and kidneys are
Kidneys
strongly interconnected impulses
and
from
Brain
the central nervous system regulate
renal blood flow, glomerular
filtration rate and affect renal
sodium handling.
The brain has a direct effect on the
stomach and intestines. For
example, the very thought of
Stomach eating can release the stomach's
and juices before food gets there. This
Brain connection goes both ways. A
troubled intestine can send signals
to the brain, just as a troubled
brain can send signals to the gut.
The brain controls the heart
directly through the sympathetic
and parasympathetic branches
of the autonomic nervous
Heart
system, which consists of multi-
and
synaptic pathways from
Brain
myocardial cells back to peripheral
ganglionic neurons and further to
central preganglionic and premotor
neurons.
 Our brain controls our
breathing rate (how fast or slow
you breathe), by sensing your
Brain body's need to get oxygen and
and also get rid of carbon dioxide.
Lungs Healthy lifestyle habits, such as
physical activity and not smoking,
can help prevent lung injury and
disease.
