Internal organs and functions - medical information martinshaji
The abdomen contains all the digestive organs, including the stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. These organs are held together loosely by connecting tissues (mesentery) that allow them to expand and to slide against each other. The abdomen also contains the kidneys and spleen.
In the study of anatomy, the term viscus refers to an internal organ. Viscera is the plural form. The number of organs in any organism depends on which precise definition of the term one uses. By one widely used definition, 79 organs have been identified in the human body.

This document provides an overview of the major organs of the human body, including their locations and basic functions. It describes the essential roles of the heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, adrenals, thyroid, parathyroid, esophagus, and appendix. While an in-depth anatomical knowledge is not required for Reiki practitioners, a basic understanding of the organs can be helpful, especially when treating clients with specific health conditions or working in medical settings.
The document discusses the key systems and structures of the human body. It defines anatomy as the study of the structure of the body and physiology as the study of how the body and its parts work. It then provides information on each of the main organ systems, including their functions. These systems include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
The document discusses the endocrine system and various glands. It describes how the pituitary gland is considered the "master gland" because it releases hormones that affect many other glands. It also discusses the adrenal gland and how it plays a role in the fight or flight response by releasing epinephrine. Additionally, it covers how the pancreas processes glucose and secretes insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. It provides information on other glands like the thyroid, ovaries, and parathyroid glands and their functions in the body.
The document discusses the importance of cleansing and detoxification for the whole body. It notes that a regular cleansing program was evaluated based on over 100,000 client programs over 10 years and found great results for health and weight loss. It then explains the 6 stages the body passes through from health to sickness or death if not given proper nutrients. Finally, it outlines the major detoxification pathways of the body and how burdening these can negatively impact other body systems.
The document provides information about the major body systems including:
- Muscular system which produces movement through skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles and smooth muscles. It discusses disorders like muscle pain, spasms and reduction in size.
- Skeletal system which provides structure, movement and protection through bones, ligaments and joints. Disorders cause pain, swelling and stiffness in joints.
- Nervous system which communicates information through neurons in the peripheral and central systems. Disorders result in tingling, numbness, pain and loss of sensation or muscle power.
- Endocrine system which regulates body processes through hormone-producing glands. Disorders cause changes in growth, metabolism and sexual function.
- Cardiovascular
The document discusses several important glands in the human body, including their locations and functions. It describes how the pituitary gland regulates other glands and growth. The adrenal gland plays a role in fight or flight responses by releasing epinephrine. The pancreas processes glucose and secretes insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. The thyroid gland controls metabolism through hormones that affect energy levels. Other glands mentioned include the ovaries, parathyroid glands, and pineal gland.
The anus is the opening at the end of the digestive tract that controls the expulsion of feces. The rectum is the storage place at the lowest end of the intestine before the anus, where solid waste is stored. The colon and rectum play an important role in the digestive system by absorbing water from waste, allowing bacteria to break down remaining material, and moving waste into the rectum for storage before being expelled from the body through the anus. A healthy colon and rectum require a diet high in fiber and low in calories to properly eliminate waste from the body.

We can learn the answer to this question by
observing, hypothesizing, experimenting, and
analysing. We are complex living beings in a
complex, contradictory, ever-changing world. We
know that we do not understand everything about
ourselves, but by using this scientific method
we can keep learning more and more.
Without our bodies we are nothing. A person
cannot exist without a body. In this book you
can see pictures of some basic structures of the
human body. You can also begin to see the
interconnections between the different parts of
the body in order to understand how the body
functions.
We should warn you that there are two serious
misconceptions that you may get from this book.
One misconception is that any part of the human
body exists in a static state. Actually everything
in the body is in a constant state of movement
and change. It is constantly being broken down
and rebuilt. Every thing is in the process of
becoming something else. Actually, we are not
made of things, but of processes. Thus, on the
left-hand pages, we have briefly discussed some
of the processes and functions of the structures
seen on the right-hand pages.
The second misconception is that the human
body systems exist as separate entities. They
cannot function separately. They are all
interconnected and dependent on each other.
Some of the same organs even belong to more
than one system. For example, the long bones
appear in both the skeletal and the lymphatic
systems, since in addition to providing support
they also manufacture blood cells. The ovaries
appear in both the hormonal and the reproductive
systems, since they produce both hormones and
ova. These human body systems are merely
useful ways of classifying and studying the
structure and function of the body. All together
they function and interact with each other and
with the surroundings to produce a conscious,
living human being.
The document provides an overview of the human digestive system. It describes how the digestive system breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body. It explains that the digestive system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. These organs work together to mechanically and chemically break down food, absorb nutrients into the bloodstream and remove waste from the body. The small intestine is where most digestion and nutrient absorption occurs, while the large intestine reclaims water and releases waste.
This document discusses the different levels of biological organization from cells to the biosphere. It begins by stating the learning objectives which are to identify the levels of organization, describe the parts that make up each level and their functions, and explain how biological structures are organized to carry out functions. It then provides examples of cells making up tissues, tissues making up organs, organs making up organ systems, and organ systems making up whole organisms. Diseases starting at the cell level can damage higher levels of organization. The document also discusses plant organ systems and how flowers, leaves and stems help plants meet their basic needs.
The document discusses the endocrine system and its glands. It describes several important glands, including the pituitary gland which regulates other glands, the adrenal gland which releases epinephrine during fight or flight responses, the pancreas which produces insulin to regulate blood sugar, and the thyroid gland which controls metabolism. It also discusses how lifestyle choices around diet and exercise can impact these glands and conditions like diabetes. The document concludes with discussing the ovaries and how a fertilized egg develops into a baby over nine months.
The document provides an overview of the major human body systems, including:
- The anatomy and physiology of each system and their basic functions. The systems covered include: respiratory, circulatory, digestive, endocrine, immune, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, nervous, reproductive, and urinary.
- Descriptions of key organs within each system and their roles in essential biological processes like gas exchange, nutrient transport, hormone production, defense against pathogens, fluid transport, movement, and waste removal.
- Reproductive cycles and gamete production in the male and female systems.
The parts of each system in the human bodyJohn Hoopman
The document summarizes the main parts of each system in the human body, including the skeletal, digestive, muscular, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and urinary systems. It provides details on key organs and structures within each system, such as bones, muscles, nerves, glands, and reproductive organs. The skeletal system has 206 bones, the digestive system breaks down food through a series of organs from mouth to anus, and the muscular system contains over 600 muscles in different shapes that provide strength and movement.
The document defines anatomical terms and references used to describe the human body. It discusses anatomical position, the three anatomical planes (medial, transverse, frontal), five body regions (head, neck, trunk, upper extremities, lower extremities), five body cavities (cranial, abdominal, thoracic, pelvic, spinal) and organs within each cavity. It also describes the four abdominal quadrants and main organs within each quadrant, and explains how anatomical references are used to describe the location of wounds or injuries on a patient's body.
The document discusses the endocrine system and its key components. It provides an overview of the endocrine system and its role in controlling metabolism, energy levels, growth, stress response, and more. Several important glands are described, including the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. For each gland, its location and major functions are outlined. The objectives and introduction provide context on teaching students about hormones, glands, and mechanisms of gland function.

It also discusses the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, and ovaries. It explains the functions of hormones like insulin and how lifestyle choices can impact hormone levels and overall health. The document also provides a brief overview of the process from fertilization to birth.
The document provides an introduction to biomedical instrumentation. It discusses the importance of biomedical instrumentation in understanding human physiology and developing diagnostic and therapeutic devices. It describes the major physiological systems of the human body and how biomedical instruments are classified and used to take clinical and research measurements. Common medical measurements include blood pressure, ECG, EEG, pH, and blood gases which are detected using techniques like electrodes, cuffs, and electromagnetic sensors.
The document provides an overview of human anatomy and physiology. It defines anatomy as the study of the body's structure and physiology as the study of how the body functions. It describes the different levels of structural organization in the human body from the chemical to the organism level. It then provides an overview of the major organ systems, including their main functions and examples of organs within each system. The digestive system is discussed in more detail, outlining the organs and processes involved in breaking down food for energy and growth.
The endocrine system maintains homeostasis through glands that secrete hormones to regulate functions like growth, metabolism, and reproduction. It interacts with other systems through hormones. The major glands are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pancreas, ovaries/testes. For example, the pituitary controls the thyroid and reproductive organs to regulate growth and menstrual cycles. Imbalances in hormones from endocrine organs can cause diseases.
Major organs of the body PRESENTATION REPORTmarivelcanta01
The human body contains many organs that each have specific functions important for survival. The brain controls both voluntary and involuntary actions. It uses information from the senses and is divided into left and right hemispheres that control different functions. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood through vessels using rhythmic contractions of its chambers. Lungs bring in oxygen and release carbon dioxide through breathing and respiration. Their alveoli and diaphragm facilitate this gas exchange process.
The document discusses the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and excretory systems and their connection to nutrition. The digestive system breaks down food, the circulatory system transports nutrients through the body, the respiratory system provides oxygen, and the excretory system removes waste. Together these systems work in harmony to keep the body healthy by providing energy and nutrients from food and removing waste.
The document summarizes the major human body systems, including:
- The circulatory system with the heart as its main organ to pump blood throughout the body.
- The respiratory system which supplies oxygen to the blood through breathing and gas exchange in the lungs.
- The muscular system which contains 630 muscles and works in pairs to help the body move and perform tasks.
The document discusses the 11 major organ systems in the human body. It provides details on what each system is comprised of and its main functions. The organ systems work interdependently, with examples like the circulatory system delivering nutrients through the body with help from the digestive system. Key systems covered include the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, integumentary, nervous, and reproductive systems. The immune, endocrine, lymphatic, and musculoskeletal systems are also summarized.
The human body contains several interconnected systems that work together to keep us alive and functioning. The circulatory system transports blood throughout the body via the heart and blood vessels, providing cells with oxygen and nutrients and removing waste. The respiratory system intakes oxygen and removes carbon dioxide through breathing. The digestive system breaks down food through the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines and extracts nutrients for the body.
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Common symptoms include chest pain or discomfort, difficulty breathing, dizziness or faintness, swelling in the legs or ankles, and nausea or vomiting. Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, age, lack of exercise, and family history. Tests used to diagnose heart disease include electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, stress tests, CT scans, MRIs, and blood tests. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, regular exercise, not smoking, managing stress, and getting enough sleep can help prevent heart disease.
CT scans use X-rays to create images of the body, while MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves. CT scans are quicker but MRIs provide more detailed images of soft tissues. Both are used to examine various injuries and medical conditions, but CT scans are generally better for bones and MRIs for soft tissues like the brain and muscles. Patients may need to follow certain preparations depending on the specific scan.

Patients may need to follow certain preparations depending on the specific scan.
1. A crucial component of COVID-19 prevention is rapid antigen testing to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus by identifying viral proteins. In contrast to antibody tests, antigen tests directly detect the presence of the virus.
2. The CDC recommends a second COVID booster dose for those over 50 and other at-risk groups to maintain immunity levels as vaccine protection declines after 4 months. Additional boosters reduce symptoms and spread to vulnerable groups.
3. Studies show additional boosters bolster the immune system against severe illness from variants like Delta and Omicron. Those over 60 or immunocompromised benefit most from a second booster now.
Heart attacks remain a major health concern worldwide. Common symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, pain in other body areas, sweating, nausea and fatigue. Treatment options depend on the severity of the attack but may include medications to open blood vessels or procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of additional heart attacks.

CT scans use X-rays to create images of the body, while MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves. CT scans are quicker and better for imaging bones, while MRIs provide more detailed images of soft tissues. Both are commonly used to evaluate injuries, diseases, and monitor medical conditions and procedures, but an MRI may be preferred to avoid radiation from a CT scan. Patients should inform medical staff of any metal implants or allergies before receiving a CT scan or MRI.
The document discusses emergency room procedures which encompass diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical interventions aimed at stabilizing patients and addressing acute medical conditions. Upon arrival, patients undergo an initial assessment including triage, vital sign monitoring, and medical history gathering. Diagnostic procedures such as lab tests, imaging studies, and ECGs are used to diagnose the underlying cause. Therapeutic procedures like IV fluid administration, medication, wound care, and emergency surgeries provide immediate relief and stabilization. Through these assessment, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures, emergency room healthcare professionals work to address critical medical conditions and provide swift, effective care for those experiencing emergencies.
CT scans use X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body and are better for detecting bone abnormalities, while MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues. Emergency rooms should have procedures to properly screen, prepare, and transport patients for CT scans and MRIs to efficiently evaluate injuries or illnesses. Communication between emergency staff and radiologists is important to share relevant medical history.

What Organs are on Your Left Side?
erofwatauga.com/what-organs-are-on-your-left-side
Our bodies are remarkable and complex systems comprised of various organs that perform
specific functions. Understanding the location and role of each organ is essential for
maintaining overall health. In this article, we will explore the organs situated on the left side
of the body, their functions, and their significance in our well-being.
Organs on the Left Side of the Body
The left side of our body houses several vital organs that contribute to our overall
physiological functioning. Let’s delve into the key organs located on the left side:
Heart
The heart, a powerful muscular organ, is positioned slightly to the left side of the chest. It
plays a crucial role in pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body, supplying vital
nutrients and oxygen to various tissues and organs.
2. 2/4
Spleen
The spleen, located in the upper left abdomen, is an essential part of the immune system. It
filters the blood, removes old or damaged blood cells, and helps fight against infections.
Left Lung
One of the two lungs, the left lung, resides on the left side of the chest. It facilitates
respiration by exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide during the breathing process.
Stomach
The stomach, a muscular organ, lies on the left side of the upper abdomen. It serves as a
reservoir for food, where it begins the digestion process through the release of gastric juices.
Pancreas
The pancreas is an elongated organ situated behind the stomach. It plays a vital role in
digestion by producing digestive enzymes and regulating blood sugar levels through the
production of insulin and glucagon.
Left Kidney
One of the paired kidneys, the left kidney, is positioned on the left side of the abdomen. It
filters waste products and excess fluid from the blood, producing urine to eliminate toxins
from the body.
Left Adrenal Gland
The left adrenal gland is located on top of the left kidney. It produces hormones essential for
regulating metabolism, managing stress responses, and maintaining fluid and electrolyte
balance.
Left Colon
The left colon, also known as the descending colon, is part of the large intestine. It processes
waste material, absorbs water, and forms feces before elimination.
Left Ovary (in females) or Left Testicle (in males)
In females, the left ovary is situated on the left side of the pelvis and is responsible for
producing eggs and hormones. In males, the left testicle is present in the left side of the
scrotum and produces sperm and testosterone.
Left Fallopian Tube (in females) or Left Vas Deferens (in males)
3. 3/4
In females, the left fallopian tube is part of the reproductive system and connects the left
ovary to the uterus. It serves as a pathway for the fertilization of eggs by sperm. In males,
the left vas deferens is a duct that transports sperm from the testes to the urethra.
Left Ureter
The left ureter is a tube that carries urine from the left kidney to the bladder. It plays a vital
role in the excretion of waste products and helps maintain the body’s fluid balance.
Conclusion
The organs on the left side of the body are essential for various physiological functions and
overall well-being. From the heart’s continuous pumping of blood to the left kidney’s filtration
process and the left lung’s oxygen exchange, each organ contributes to the body’s intricate
workings. Understanding the location and role of these organs can help us appreciate the
complexity of our bodies and prioritize their health.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can the organs on the left side of the body be affected by certain conditions?

Are there any exercises or activities that specifically benefit the organs on the left
side?
Engaging in cardiovascular exercises, maintaining proper hydration, and following a
balanced diet can promote the health of these organs. However, it’s important to focus on
overall well-being rather than targeting specific organs.
What should I do if I experience pain or discomfort in any of the organs on the left
side?
If you experience persistent or severe pain, discomfort, or any abnormal symptoms related to
these organs, it is advisable to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and appropriate
treatment.
