HUMAN ORGANS

Lots of people work together to make life in a city possible. Some people work in bakeries and restaurants, making food. Police and firefighters make sure the city is safe. And other people keep the city clean. Everyone has a job to do.

Your body is kind of like a city too. Every organ in the human body has an important job to do. Your lungs help you to breathe. Your heart pumps blood through your body. And your brain controls everything. In your body, your organs work together to keep you alive.
