Grab yer hat and saddle the broncs!
Tis time to head down the Organ Trail on a little adventure!

Your job for this journey is to gather all the information you can about your organ. At the end of this cybertrail, you will need to whip up a wanted poster to share your finds with the other cowboys and cowgirls in your camp.

Gather Your Facts!

At the end of this journey, you will need to know the following:

1) Which organ systems contain your organ? 

2) What are the organ's main functions?

3) How does your organ works with other systems to keep the body healthy?

Give at least 3 example.

5) Can a person live without your organ?
