Compose an essay with the theme "Computer parts and the Anatomy and physiology of the human
body". You may be creative by adding illustrations. (300-500 words).

The parts of a computer are just like the parts of the human body hence are essential to its functioning.
Like the human body, which is comprised up of cells and organs that work in unison to carry out
function, a computer is made up of circuitry cells that operate efficiently to execute the functions it has.

Just like humans, computers have their own motherboards which are remarkably identical to humans'
nervous systems. Similar to the way the nervous system enables all body parts communicate with each
other, all computer components are connected to one another on the motherboard, which means that
all electrical signals are transmitted through it. A computer's spinal cord is represented by the central
processing unit or CPU. It is responsible for processing commands from the motherboard. Similar to
how the spinal cord receives orders from the brain, it controls every operation of the computer.
Furthermore, similar to how the human brain stores and processes information, a computer likewise has
its own hard disc. It has several sections for different purposes, just like the brain. The hard disc may be
additionally used, like our memories, to retrieve all of the vital information and programmes for use
anytime we want. Additionally, computers have their own microphones that can receive sound and
deliver it to the computer for processing, just like the human ear. The face or monitor of a computer
shows what the computer is working on and displays pictures that provide information to the user which
remind us of human facial expressions that can be used by others to predict emotions. Last but not the
least, a computer has a system case that works like a human skin. It offers the computer a distinctive
form, protect the interior parts from damaging elements found in external environment, and keeps the
interior of the computer intact.

Although a computer behaves rationally and logically in contrast to humans, who are unable to carryout
some tasks without emotion, they are similar in the way they store and process data and carry out
specific tasks. Likewise to how a human is made up of millions of cells, systems, and organs, a computer
is comprised up of different components with specific functions which work together to accomplish
tasks and resolve specific problems.
