Heart
Human Heart – Diagram and Anatomy of the Heart
http://www.innerbody.com/image/card01.html
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that functions as the body’s circulatory pump. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into the various arteries (which provide oxygen and nutrients to body tissues by transporting the blood throughout the body).

This series looks at the structure and function of the respiratory system and describes the mechanics of breathing. Each of the cells in the body needs a supply of oxygen in order to function as well as a means to expel the carbon dioxide produced. The respiratory system (along with the cardiovascular system) is largely dedicated to supplying these needs. This article, the first in this four-part series, looks at the nose, pharynx and larynx.

Bronchi are the main passageway into the lungs. When someone takes a breath through their nose or mouth, the air travels into the larynx. The next step is through the trachea, which carries the air to the left and right bronchus.

Your Digestive System and How It Works
http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-topics/Anatomy/your-digestive-system/Pages/anatomy.aspx#top
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract-also called the digestive tract-and the liver, pancreas, and the gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.

The digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Inside this tube is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food.

The stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas are three of the most important digestive organs in the human body. These organs work together to produce and store secretions that digest our food into its most basic building blocks. Once digested, these small molecules pass into our intestines to be absorbed and to feed our body’s tissues.

The Small Intestine
http://teachmeanatomy.info/abdomen/gi-tract/small-intestine/
The small intestine is a organ located in the gastrointestinal tract, which assists in the digestion and absorption of ingested food. It extends from the pylorus of the stomach to the iloececal junction, where it meets the large intestine. Anatomically, the small bowel can be divided into three parts; the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
Small Intestine Anatomy
http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1948951-overview
Small Intestine
http://www.innerbody.com/image_digeov/dige10-new3.html
The small intestine is a long, highly convoluted tube in the digestive system that absorbs about 90% of the nutrients from the food we eat. It is given the name “small intestine” because it is only 1 inch in diameter, making it less than half the diameter of the large intestine.
Large Intestine – Anatomy and Physiology
http://www.innerbody.com/anatomy/digestive/large-intestine
The large intestine is the final section of the gastrointestinal tract that performs the vital task of absorbing water and vitamins while converting digested food into feces. Although shorter than the small intestine in length, the large intestine is considerably thicker in diameter, thus giving it its name.

As these bones grow throughout fetal and childhood development, they begin to fuse together, forming a single skull.

Ureter Function, Anatomy & Definition
http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/ureter
The ureter is the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. In humans there are two ureters, one attached to each kidney. The upper half of the ureter is located in the abdomen and the lower half is located in the pelvic area.
Ureter
http://www.innerbody.com/image_urinov/repo15-new2.html
A ureter is one of two uterine tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Each ureter is about ten to twelve inches long. Urine flows down partly by gravity, but mainly by waves of contractions, which pass several times per minute through the muscle layers of the urethral walls.
Urinary Bladder – Anatomy and Physiology
http://www.innerbody.com/image_dige05/dige15.html
The urinary bladder is a hollow elastic organ that functions as the body’s urine storage tank. Urine produced by the kidneys flows through the ureters to the urinary bladder, where is it stored before passing into the urethra and exiting the body.
Bladder Anatomy, Function & Diagram
http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/bladder
The bladder, also known as the urinary bladder, is an expandable muscular sac that stores urine before it is excreted out of the body through the urethra. It is located in the lower abdominal area near the pelvic bones.

http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/thyroid-gland
The thyroid gland covers the windpipe from three sides. Two hormones of the thyroid gland, T3 (thyroxine) and T4 (triiodothyronine), help the body to produce and regulate the hormones adrenaline (also called epinephrine) and dopamine. Hormones are chemical substances that help control certain cells and organs.

An Overview of the Parathyroid – The Calcium-regulating Gland that Helps Keep Bones Healthy
http://www.endocrineweb.com/endocrinology/overview-parathyroid
The parathyroid gland has a single responsibility in the endocrine system-to regulate calcium levels. To do this, it secretes parathyroid hormone. The parathyroid is located near your thyroid; however, their functions are not connected.

An Overview of the Pineal Gland – Maintaining Circadian Rhythym
http://www.endocrineweb.com/endocrinology/overview-pineal-gland
The pineal gland is the most mysterious organ in the endocrine system. It is influenced by light and produces the hormone melatonin, which affects your circadian rhythm and sleep cycles.
Pineal Gland – Anatomy Pictures and Information
http://www.innerbody.com/image_nerv02/nerv64-new.html
The pineal gland (or pineal body) is an important endocrine gland. It is a small, oval structure descending from the roof of the diencephalon, a section of the brain that relays sensory information between the brain’s different regions. Although it’s very tiny-only about six millimeters long-the pineal gland produces several important hormones.
An Overview of the Thymus – The Gland that Protects You Long after It’s Gone

The thymus gland is largest during childhood and shrinks after puberty, but its effect on your body’s defenses last your whole life. Learn more about this important gland.
Thymus Gland – Anatomy Pictures and Information
http://www.innerbody.com/image_endoov/lymp04-new.html
The thymus gland, despite containing glandular tissue and producing several hormones, is much more closely associated with the immune system than with the endocrine system. The thymus serves a vital role in the training and development of T-lymphocytes or T cells, an extremely important type of white blood cell.
