Imagine getting up in the morning after a good night’s sleep and going to the toilet, and pressing the kettle in the kitchen just before doing this. After coming out of the toilet, you tried to come to yourself by combining your hot water with coffee. Then you got ready for work or school and went out. You came home again tired after your journey and stress during the day. After you ate your meal, you stretched your legs and started watching something on TV.
This is an example of a routine that everyone adapts to their own. We humans do this. Some of us spend the whole day traveling, some do not go out of the house. We continue by choosing all of them. So what is the situation with our organs that enable us to do these things? They are always with us, we can come to life thanks to the things they add to us, but we don’t even know how they look yet. For example, your lungs are working like crazy just 10-15 cm below your head and trying to pump oxygen to your body. Well, have you ever thought about what this organ, which is among your greatest comrades, looks like?
Today we will look at how our organs look in our body. In my research, I have observed that the visuals on this subject are very inadequate. These images, which are normally mostly obtained from the moments of surgery, will be helpful to understand what the organs that make us look like.
