Welcome to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. In today's video I'm going to give you a bit of an anatomy lesson. Now, first of all, we have to understand a few things. One, this is very scientific things and it's not necessarily important for everybody, but it's good to know. You never know when you might have to talk to your doctor about some of these things, some of these issues, and explain to them what's going on. Or if the doctor needs to explain to you what is going on in your body, you can at least have a basic idea of what he or she is speaking about. Another thing to remember is: I'm not a doctor so if I'm not saying it exactly correct, let it go. It's all about English, not about medicine. So, don't sue me for malpractice later. Okay? So we're going to start with anatomy. What is "anatomy"? This is basically the structure of the body, all the parts of the body, inside, outside, and all around. And we're going to look today at the five vital organs. "Organs" are basically pieces of equipment inside your body. "Vital" means crucial, very, very important, very necessary. So we're going to talk about the five vital organs, meaning that if anything happens to these particular organs, you could die. Okay? So you have to be a little bit careful when it comes to taking care of them. And we're also going to look at the systems that they are parts of. Your body has lots of different systems that control and regulate what happens to your body, and we're going to look at how some of these work. Okay? Now, there are a lot more than five organs, there are more than five systems, but we're only going to look at the vital five today. We're going to start with your "heart". So everybody knows more or less where your heart is, it's about middle of your chest, left or right, depending on the person. What the heart does is it pumps... Basically it pumps blood... It is a pump and it pumps blood throughout your system. Right? It gets the blood flowing in and out. That's why we call it part of the "circulatory system". It circulates the blood throughout your body. The blood goes into the heart, fills up with oxygen, goes to the body, comes back to the heart without oxygen, fills up again, and again, and again. The system is basically made up of the heart, of course. The "blood vessels", these are the small, little lines of blood that reach all over your body. The "arteries", these are the big, the main blood vessels, the main pipelines, if you want to call them, that leave the heart full of oxygen and travel all around the body, and spreading the oxygen all around. And then the veins, that's the blue ones that you might see on your arms, they're going back to the heart without oxygen to get refilled. And then you have a "spleen", which is another organ we're not going to get into right now. So very important, take care of your heart. Now, as a side note, the most... The thing you need to be most worried about are your arteries. If you're going to eat a lot of fatty foods, these things can get clogged. "Clogged" means they get full and the blood can't pass through, and that's when you have a heart attack or even a stroke, so very, very important to make sure that this doesn't happen. Don't eat too many hamburgers, and pizzas, and chips, and French fries, and all of that other delicious, but unhealthy stuff. Next we're going to look at your "brain", the biggest muscle in your body they say, so make sure you exercise, because muscles need exercise to grow. The brain is, again, in your "skull". Okay? It is part of the "central nervous system". Okay? So your brain controls all the voluntary and involuntary actions of your body. "Voluntary", I want to lift my hand up so I do. My brain sends a message, my hand goes up, my hand goes down, side, all around. "Involuntary", breathing. If I held my breath, eventually, even if I want to hold it, my brain will force my lungs to work and I will be able to breathe again. It's involuntary. I don't have much of a choice about it. Okay? The central nervous system consists of the brain, again. The "spinal cord", that's the line in your back-okay?-that it's connected all the way up, keeps your skeleton all together. […]
