Heart

Heart . The heart is a crucial organ that is crucial to the body's circulatory system. It is in charge of transporting waste materials out of the body and pumping blood throughout the body, which contains nutrients and oxygen. In the centre of the chest, just slightly to the left, is where the heart is situated. The heart's main characteristics are as follows: Structure : The muscular heart is an organ that is about the size of a fist. Two atria (left and right) and two ventricles (left and right) make up its four chambers. Blood is drawn into the atria while being pumped out of the heart by the ventricles. Blood Flow : The heart is supplied with oxygenated blood through an intricate web of blood arteries, which removes deoxygenated blood. The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle as blood enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava, enters the right atrium, and then is pushed into the lungs via the pulmonary artery.

Gall bladder

GALL BLADDER The gallbladder is a digestive organ that is situated in the right hypochondrium of the abdomen. This pear-shaped intraperitoneal sac is located in a fossa that was created by the inferior aspects of the right and quadrate lobes of the liver. Concentrating and storing bile, which is created by the liver, is the gallbladder's main job. The stored bile is then released from the gallbladder as part of the gustatory response in response to cholecystokinin. In this article, we'll examine the gallbladder's anatomy, including its structure, vascular, innervation, and lymphatic supply. Anatomical Relations The visceral surface of the liver is directly above the gallbladder, which is completely enclosed by peritoneum. The following buildings are situated nearby: The inferior hepatic border and the anterior abdominal wall are located anteriorly and superiorly. The proximal duodenum and the transverse colon are located posteriorly. The remaining duodenal segments and the

Pancreas

PANCREAS Located in the abdomen, the pancreas is an organ. It is vital in transforming the food we eat into energy for the body's cells. The exocrine (which aids in digesting) and endocrine (which controls blood sugar) functions of the pancreas are its two primary roles. LOCATION In the upper left abdomen, behind the stomach, is where the pancreas is situated. Other organs such as the liver, spleen, and small intestine surround it. It is spongy, six to ten inches long, and has the shape of an elongated fish or a flat pear across the abdomen. The pancreas' broad portion, known as the head, is situated close to the centre of the belly. The junction where the stomach and the first segment of the small intestine meet is where the pancreas' head is situated. The pancreas releases digestion enzymes into these contents as the stomach passes partially digested food into the intestine. The neck or body of the pancreas refers to its core region. The tail, which sticks out

KIDNEY

KIDNEY The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs that are situated on either side of the spine below the rib cage. The kidneys support healthy electrolyte balance, blood pressure regulation, and waste removal from the body. LOCATION The positioning While the right kidney is lower as a result of the liver's minor displacement, the left kidney is situated about between the T12 and L3 vertebrae. The eleventh and twelfth ribs provide some protection for the upper regions of the kidneys. The kidneys measure around 3 centimetres (cm) in thickness, 6 cm in width, and 12 cm in length. The typical weight of the kidneys in men is around 129 grammes (g) for the right kidney and 137 g for the left. The average weight of these organs in females is 116 g for the left kidney and 108 g for the right kidney. INTERNAL ANATOMY The renal cortex, which is located outside of the kidney, and the medulla, which is located inside, are visible in a frontal slice of the kidney. The

STOMACH

STOMACH The muscular organ that digests food is your stomach. It is a component of your digestive system (GI). When you eat, your stomach contracts and releases the acids and enzymes needed to break down the meal. When your stomach has digested the meal, your small intestine absorbs the nutrients. Food is digested by the stomach, a J-shaped organ. Acids and enzymes, which are chemicals that catalyse chemical reactions, are produced (digestive juices). Food is broken down by this concoction of digestive juices and enzymes so that it may move on to your small intestine. The digestive (GI) tract includes your stomach. Your mouth is where the GI tract begins, and it is a long tube. It flows out of your body through your anus, where you poop. Your digestive system's GI tract is a crucial component. LOCATION   On the left side of your body, the upper abdomen is where your stomach is located. Your stomach's top joins a valve known as the esophageal sphincter (a muscle at t

ANATOMY OF LIVER

The  Structure Of Liver One of the largest internal organs in the human body, the liver weighs between 1.3 and 1.5 kg in an adult who is healthy. It carries out a wide range of tasks, such as preventing infections, clotting blood, producing different hormones and proteins, and more. Additionally, it is a gland, or more accurately, a glandular organ, because it secretes a variety of substances . Located in the upper right corner of the abdomen, the liver is an organ (abdomen). The right kidney, stomach, and intestines are above it, and it is located below the diaphragm. The liver is a triangular, bilobed organ with a larger right lobe and a smaller left lobe. The two lobes are divided by the falciform ligament. The liver is covered with Glisson's capsule, a layer of fibrous tissue. The peritoneum surrounds this capsule. This shields the liver from harm physically. Its two primary blood supplies are as follows: Hepatic Portal Blood from the digestive tract is carried by v

Human Digestive system

digestive system of humans Human digestive system Humans' digestive systems begin in the mouth and conclude in the anus. The mouth, oesophagus, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gall bladder, and anus are among the various organs that are included in it. Digestive System in Humans To turn food into energy for the body, a number of organs make up the digestive system in humans. Anatomically, the gastrointestinal tract is part of the digestive system, along with additional organs including the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The mouth, stomach, oesophagus, small intestine, and large intestine—which contains the rectum and anus—are the hollow organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). The human digestive system and nutrition are concerned with an organism ingesting food and using it as fuel. This essential process enables living things to derive their energy from a variety of sources. Before the nutrients in the food we eat are u
