Vital Organs

The organs required for survival are considered to be the vital organs. Any abnormalities in any of these organs have the potential to be fatal. The five important organs are:

Brain

It serves as a control center and is a component of the central nervous system. The human nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. Cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum make up the brain. This organ is responsible for the majority of the body’s functions and determines which instructions to provide the rest of the body after analyzing, integrating, and coordinating the data from the sense organs. The skull’s bones in the head support and protect the brain.

Heart

The human heart is among the most vital organs in the body. Until a person’s death, the human heart continues to beat. Our hearts beat roughly forty-two hundred times an hour, or 70 beats per minute, pumping nearly 2,000 gallons of blood each day. The position of the human heart lies somewhat to the left of and behind the breastbone in the thoracic cavity, medial to the lungs.

Lungs

Lungs are organs found in the thoracic cavity of the chest and are present in humans. They have a thin membrane lining, bronchioles, which are smaller tubes, alveoli, which resemble balloons, and a collection of blood capillaries, which increases the surface area for gas exchange.

Kidneys

A vital organ of the excretory system is the kidney. The ribs and back muscles support these bean-shaped bony bones, which are situated on either side of the spine. It works by filtering extra water from the blood and removing dangerous contaminants. In addition to excretion, the kidneys also produce renin, a hormone that controls blood pressure.

Liver

With a weight of between 1.3 and 1.5 kg, the liver is the largest internal organ in the human body. Only vertebrates possess the liver, which is situated in the upper right corner of the abdomen. More than 500 processes are carried out by this triangular, bi-lobed organ, including blood coagulation, defense against pathogen invasion, hormone and protein synthesis, and secretion of numerous enzymes and chemicals. 

There are 78 Organs in the human body. An organ is a collection of tissues joined by an anatomical connection to form a functional structural unit. Most multicellular organisms, including humans, other animals, and plants, have organs. There are 2 types of organs in the human body – hollow organs (eg. rectum) which have space where substances pass through and solid organs (eg. pancreas) which lack internal cavities. In this article, we will study the 78 organs in the human body in brief.
