2. Introduction
The human body is a
wonderful machine. Like
any machine, the human
body is also made up of
many parts which perform
specific functions. Human
body can do many
activities that no man-
made machine can ever do.

The human body is like a big
machine. It works with the
help of different parts which
perform different functions.
There are some parts of the
body that we can see, these
parts of our body are called
external organs. Hands, legs,
nose, etc. are some of the
external organs

parts that we cannot see.
These parts are present inside
our body and are called
internal organs. All internal
organs have special roles to
play and they work all the
time. Brain, lungs, heart,
stomach, kidneys, bones and
muscles are some of the
internal organs. Let us study
about these organs one by one.
5. Brain
Brain is located in the head.
It helps us to think and
remember. It also controls all
the actions of the body such
as breathing, digesting food
and circulating blood.

We have two
Lungs located
in the chest
on either
side of the
heart. They
help us to
breathe.
7. Heart
Heart is
present in the
chest, between
the two lungs.

blood to all
the parts of
the body.
8. Stomach
Stomach is a sack-like
structure located in the
middle portion of our
