Using the correct terminology list the main organs of the human body?

The main organs of the human body are the skin, liver, brain, lungs, heart, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, thyroid and prostate. Other important organs in healthy individuals are the gall bladder, large intestines and small intestines.


How do humans get rid of waste in their bodies?

Pretty much like every other mammal. Through our colon, which is attached to our anus. Our urine is passed through our bladder, through our ureters, down our urethra and out of our body. Standing up or sitting down, either way, it comes out. But humans excrete waste in a toilet and animals excrete waste in their surroundings.


What life functions do tissues and organs carry out?

Tissues and organs are parts of complex organisms, such as humans, and they help to carry out a variety of functions. Organs do a wide variety of things. The heart pumps blood, the brain tells the rest of the body what to do, the stomach, intestines, pancreas, and liver help to digest and remove essential nutrients from food, and much more. Your blood is a very important tissue. It carries your oxygen and nutrient supply to your cells, and brings back the waste products.


What percentage of the human body is non-human?

according to the question the percent is zero but there are still living organisms inside the body but they dont make up the body In terms of cell numbers, approximately 85-90% of the cells in your body are NOT human but bacterial, mostly in your intestines and some on your skin and in your mouth. But they're so much smaller that in terms of volume, they only make up about 5-10% of your body, mostly in the form of feces. Yuck!


How does a sodium ion enter a cell?

Your body expels sodium in your urine. Your body needs blood pressure and sodium to push waste material through your kidneys and into your bladder. Then when you pee, you get rid of the sodium. You use a certain amount of sodium each day. If you do not get enough, waste builds up in your blood because your kidneys do not work. If you get too much, your blood pressure gets too high and your kidneys do not work so your body does not get rid of waste.
