Injuries
If you just break a bone, you would
probably go to an emergency room and
would get a plaster. The emergency room
is a hospital that treats emergencies, like
people who have been injured in a car
crash. If you think someone is having
a heart attack or other medical
emergency, you would either call an
ambulance that would take them to the
emergency room, or drive them there
yourself. The US has one telephone
number that is used for emergencies. It's
911, and if you dial it you can get help
from the police, fire department or
medical assistance.

Important
organs
of your body
Our bodies are very
complicated, and while usually
everything is fine, sometimes
things can go wrong. If
something is wrong on the
inside of your body, it may
involve one of your organs. The
big organs are your heart and
lungs. But the stomach, smalland large intestines, kidneys,
bladder and liver all play an
important role in keeping your
body functioning. It's important
to treat these organs carefully,
because they are the only ones
you get. If one of your organs
fails, you may be lucky enough
to get a transplant. That's
when an organ from someone
else's body is implanted in to
yours. This is major surgery,
and you will have to take lots
of medicine to make sure your
body doesn't reject its new
part.
When different parts of your
body are working together, we
say they form a system. For
example, your cardiovascular
system is in charge of moving
blood throughout your body,
while the immune system is
responsible for finding and
killing bacteria or other viruses
that could make us sick. If
you are getting sick, your
body may warn you by
showing you symptoms, like
when you start to cough
before you have a cold.
In order to prevent some
diseases, you can get a
vaccine or shot. Babies get
lots of these so they don't get
diseases like polio. Eating
healthy food and exercising
regularly can help keep all our
body parts in top condition.
Learning first aid will help you
be able to help others who
may be sick and injured. And
remember, if you love your
body, it will love you back!
