My Body, My Organs
How to use this book:
This book could be used several different ways. It may be used as a
teaching tool for children, siblings, or families who are looking into
transplant or need to have a better understanding on how an organ
works.
It could also be used in conjunction with other educational materials
to better meet the needs of the patient, sibling, or family.
Parents, families, medical team, and Child Life Specialists may utilize
this book as a tool to educate children and siblings on the different
organs that may be transplanted.
Since the book does not cover the transplant process, it is intended to
assist in providing general information on how our organs work as
well as provide a starting point in the discussion of transplantation.
Intended Audience:
This book was put together with school age children in mind.
Depending on the specific need of the child, this book could be
adapted to accommodate the needs of both younger and older children
by changing the terminology used or showing just the images of the
book to the child.
It is important to also keep in mind the fact that not all cultures
support organ transplantation. With this in mind, this book may not be
appropriate for all families.
This book can be shown in sections or may be read from beginning to
end. Again, use it to meet the individual needs of the patient or family.
My Body

My Organs
Our body is made up of different organs that work hard to keep us
healthy.
These organs have different jobs to do that keep our body working the
way it needs to.
Sometimes, our organs do not always work the way they are suppose
to and we may need organs from someone else.
When someone donates organs, their organs are given to someone
else who needs them.
Organs that can be donated include: heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, and
pancreas.
Heart
The heart is a muscle inside your chest. It sends blood around the
body, which provides the body with oxygen and nutrients it needs.
The heart is also like a pump. It takes blood from the body and sends
it to the lungs. The heart beats when it fills with blood and contracts
to send the blood out moving around your body.
Kidneys
The kidneys are a pair of organs that clean waste, which is what the
body does not need, out of the blood. The waste is passed out of the
body as urine. Kidneys also make important hormones and control
blood pressure. They also control the levels of water, salts, and
minerals in the body. The kidneys on the either side of your spine, just
below the rib cage.

Liver
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body. It cleans the blood by
taking toxins out. It also makes an important liquid called bile, which
helps the body absorb fat into the bloodstream. This yellowish liquid
is stored until the body needs to use it to digest fat. The liver also
stores energy in the form of a sugar. This sugar is like saved energy.
When the body needs energy, the liver breaks down the sugar and
releases it into the blood stream.

Lungs
The lungs are one of the largest organs in the body. They are located
in the chest and make up part of the respiratory system, which is a
group of organs and tissue that allow us to breath. They allow the
body to breath oxygen from the air and help get rid of carbon dioxide
(a waste gas that can be toxic) from the body.

Pancreas
The pancreas is an organ located behind the lower part of the
stomach. It makes insulin and enzymes that help the body digest and
use food.

As all the organs in the body work the way they are suppose to, they
keep us healthy. When one body part does not work the way it is
suppose to, doctors may do different things to get that organ to start
working again and keep us healthy.
