The Stomach
The stomach is an organ of the digestive system. It is located in your abdomen. Your
stomach works automatically. The food that you eat is mixed together with the gastric
juices found inside your stomach. This causes the food to be broken down. When your
stomach is empty, you may get pains called hunger pangs.
The Lungs
You have a pair of lungs located in your chest cavity. These organs are used for breathing.
The lungs work continuously to move air in and out of your body. This is an automatic
activity controlled by the brain.
The Heart
The heart is located in your chest cavity. This fist-size organ pumps blood through your
body. Your heart beats automatically.
