To survive and reproduce, the human body relies on major internal body organs to perform certain vital functions. When two or more organs along with their associated structures work together they become component parts of a body system. Few of the easily recognizable internal organs and their associated functions are the following.

The Brain: The brain is the control center of the nervous system and is located within the skull. Its functions include muscle control, coordination, sensory reception, integration, speech production, memory storage and elaboration of thought and emotion.

The Lungs: Lungs are to sponge-like, cone-shaped structures that fill most of the chest cavity. Their essential function is to provide oxygen from inhaled air to the blood stream and to exhale carbon dioxide.

The Liver: The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Its main function is to process the contents of the blood to ensure that its composition remains the same. This process involves breaking down fats, producing urea, filtering harmful substances and maintaining a proper level of Glucose in the blood.

The Kidneys: Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located at the back of the abdominal cavity, one on each side of the spinal column. Their function is to maintain body's chemical balance by excreting waste products and excess fluid in the form of urine.

The Heart: Heart is a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions.

The Stomach: Stomach is a muscular, elastic, pear-shaped bag, lying crosswise in the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Its main purpose is digestion of food through production of gastric juices, breakdown, mix and churn the food into a thin liquid.

The Intestines: Intestines are located between the stomach and the anus. They are divided into two major sections, the small intestine and the large intestine. The function of the small intestine is to absorb most indigested food. The large intestine is responsible for absorption of water and excretion of solid waste material.

All these are important internal organs of the body.
