Body: The Human

The body requires a constant supply of energy and raw materials. The is a 30-foot-long tube that begins at the mouth and ends at the anus. Enzymes in saliva, stomach acid, and intestinal juices break down food into microscopic molecules—glucose, amino acids, fatty acids—which are then absorbed into the blood.

Every cell needs fuel and oxygen. This is the job of the circulatory and respiratory systems. The , a fist-sized pump made of specialized muscle, beats roughly 100,000 times per day, propelling oxygen-rich blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels—arteries, veins, and capillaries. That's enough to circle the Earth twice. The Human Body

The is a silent army of specialized cells (white blood cells like macrophages, T-cells, and B-cells) and organs (spleen, lymph nodes) that patrol the body, identifying and destroying invaders like bacteria, viruses, and even cancerous cells. The body requires a constant supply of energy
