Sisäliitteet

Sisäliitteet, also known as internal appendages or internal organs, are the structures within an organism that perform various essential functions. In humans, these include the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and the digestive system. Each internal organ has a specific role in maintaining the body's homeostasis. For example, the heart pumps blood throughout the body, while the lungs facilitate gas exchange. The liver processes nutrients and detoxifies the blood, and the kidneys filter waste products from the blood. The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients. Internal appendages are crucial for the survival and well-being of an organism, as they work together to support life processes. In medical contexts, the term "sisäliitteet" can also refer to internal appendages that are not typically considered organs, such as the tonsils or the appendix. These structures, while not as vital as the major internal organs, still play important roles in the body's defense mechanisms and overall health.
