10.015-11-198726mThe body’s messengers run around sending and receiving information about feelings like hunger and cold. They work day and night and never take breaks.
11.The Eye
10.022-11-198726mEyes are magical! They break down and transmit images to the brain. What happens if a speck of dust gets into one? It’s tear enzymes to the rescue.
12.The Ear
10.029-11-198726mThe ear is composed of cells that sense vibrations and transmit them to the brain. Then, the brain transforms them into words and sounds.

17.The Kidneys
10.003-01-198827mToxic elements head to the kidneys where they are categorized. The good ones are salvaged but the bad ones are sent to the bladder. Have a good trip!
18.The Lymphatic System
10.010-01-198826mThe huge lymph network transports everything to the body’s factories. Infectious intruders beware! This place is well protected.
