Check out the below images of the human body. It's showing how extraordinary the human body mechanism is.

The digestive system:

The digestive system is the process by which the body breaks down and absorbs nutrients from food, involving the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

The vascular system:

The vascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is a network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. It includes:

1. Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to organs and tissues.
2. Veins: Return deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
3. Capillaries: Allow for exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between blood and tissues.
4. Blood vessels: Transport blood, regulate blood pressure, and maintain circulation.

The nervous system :

The nervous system is the body’s communication network, transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and nerves to control movements, sensations, and functions.

- The nervous system: The body's electrical wiring!

Anatomical model of the hand:

The anatomical model of the hand consists of:

1. Carpal bones (wrist): 8 bones
2. Metacarpal bones (hand): 5 bones
3. Phalanges (finger bones): 14 bones (3 in each finger, 2 in the thumb)

The hand anatomy also includes:

- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Muscles
- Nerves
- Blood vessels

This complex structure enables various functions like grasping, gripping, and manipulating objects.

The anatomical model that illustrates the superficial arteries and veins of the face:

A model that shows the blood vessels (arteries and veins) on the surface of the face, highlighting the network of vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the skin and underlying tissues.

Heart completely drained of blood:

A heart completely drained of blood is referred to as an "exsanguinated heart".

Exsanguination is a medical term that means "drained of blood" or "complete loss of blood". In the case of the heart, it means that all the blood has been drained from the heart chambers and vessels, leaving it empty and devoid of its normal blood content.

In a medical or surgical context, this term might be used to describe a heart that has been intentionally drained of blood, such as during cardiac surgery or organ donation.
