There were four canopic jars.
Basically, each jar had a duty to fulfil.
The baboon-headed Hapy guarded the lungs.
The human-headed Imsety was the guardian of the liver.
Jackal-headed Duamutef guarded the stomach and upper intestines.
Falcon-headed Qebehsenuef guarded the lower intestines.
There are four canopic jars that are placed together in a canopic chest box. They are placed such that they face North, South, East and West.
The jars used to hold organs after mummification rituals are called Canopic jars. These jars were then placed in the tomb.

Canopic jars are just pottery jars. Used for various purposes. Some civilisations used jars to hold the organs of embalmed prominent citizens. In ancient Egypt, mummies were buried with four canopic jars, one for each of Horus's sons, and each containing a different internal organ. The jar representing Imsety had a human head and contained the liver.
